Sitemap not being generated due to conflict with Cornerstone

This is similar to this issue from a few days ago which your team seems to have dismissed as a non issue.

Similar to the issue posted above, I have a page sitemap (https://www.dreamystays.com/page-sitemap.xml) that is not being generated due to a conflict with Cornerstone.

This is unacceptable as it keeps my pages from being indexed by Google.

I have Cornerstone version 6.1.2 installed
My webhost, BigScoots, investigated and found this problem with Cornerstone:

Its a bug with this plugin: Cornerstone – Its hitting max PHP memory.

It causes an endless loop it seems until the process hits max memory, if you deactivate that plugin then the sitemap loads fine.

Here is what I see when I trace the process:

however again, If i deactivate it then the sitemap loads. This would need to be reported to their developer’s.

Hello @vmatt21,

Thanks for writing to us.

It might be the issue of version compatibility issue. I would suggest you please make sure your theme, plugins, WordPress, and PHP version is updated as per our version compatibility page. I would suggest you troubleshoot with a few of the common issues before we investigate your settings.

  1. Testing For Theme Related Issue
  2. Testing For Plugin Conflict
  3. Theme Update
  4. Child Theme
  5. Css/Js Customization
  6. Increasing Php Memory Limit
  7. Disabling Cache
  8. Disabling Cdn
  9. Permalinks
  10. Version Compatibility

If none of those work, It would be best if you could copy your live website to your staging area. and send your details in a secure note so that we can investigate your setting without breaking your live site. Please provide the following details

  • WordPress Login URL
  • Admin level username and password
  • FTP Details

You can find the Secure Note button at the bottom of your posts

Thanks

I cannot upgrade to the latest version of Cornerstone. I get this error:

Secure note attached.

Hello @vmatt21,

It seems that you are using the older version of the theme, I would suggest you few steps to update the theme.

  1. Deactivate the Cornerstone page builder plugin
  2. Update the X theme
  3. Update the Cornerstone
  4. Now Activate the Cornerstone plugin.

You can also check our theme update the doc. https://theme.co/docs/how-to-update

Thanks

I was able to succesfully update Theme X.

Cornerstone update fails:

Hello @vmatt21,

Please go to your Plugins section. Find the Cornerstone plugin and deactivate it. You also need to totally delete the plugin. Afterwards, go to X > Validation and wait for a few moments while the bundled Cornerstone plugin is installed in the background. You should be seeing a confirmation once it is ready to be activated.

If this is not working, kindly provide us access to your site so that we can investigate. You can create a secure note in your next reply with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WP login URL
– WP username
– WP password
– WP Administrator Role
- Confirmation that we can access and make changes to your site

To know how to create a secure note, please check this out: How The Forum Works

Best Regards.

I have updated Secure Note. You may make changes.

I am unable to remove/delete Cornerstone:

Hey @vmatt21,

If that is the case, please go to your Hosting Cpanel and log in to the File Manager. If you have FTP access, log in to your FTP and browse to the plugins folder. You will have to manually delete the cornerstone folder using the FTP.

Once it is deleted, go back to your WordPress Dashboard > X > Validation so that the bundled Cornerstone plugin will be installed.

Kindly let us know how it goes.
