    Hello Kory Alden

    I hope you are doing good and thank you for giving us time to check this for you.

    I just checked your website and found that the sitemap.php is still in the plugin folder. Please move it from public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-sitemaps to public_html/wp-content folder using Cpanel or FTP and then try activating the plugin.

    Next step would be to download the “.htaccess” file from the “public_html” folder and make a point to keep a backup of the file on your computer and then edit the file and add the following line under the line that handles uploaded files. You would spot a text ” #uploaded files”. This means that all the lines below this text handle uploaded files. If you do not spot the ” #uploaded files”, add in the text at the end of the file and then paste the line below ” #uploaded files”.

    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?sitemap.xml wp-content/sitemap.php [L]

    Save the file and then upload it back to the server.

    Here is the step by step documentation explaining the procedure with the help of images:
