Search Console Sitemap HTML Issue

[ReunionMarketing]

I have recently submitted a sitemap on Google Search Console and it is telling me that the page appears to be an HTML page. However, the URL of this page is website.com/ "sitemap_index.xml" so I am not sure why we are getting this error.

Here is the error: Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.

Are you running the W3 Cache plugin? If so, this might be your issue. Alternatively, remove your site from Webmaster Tools and re-add it again. I have had this fix the issue in the page.
