Google Console sitemap couldn't fetch

Site URL: https://www.herocards.us/

Google Console appears to be indexing my site but says "couldn't fetch" every time I try to submit the sitemap.xml. There are other forum posts about this, but the only resolutions I'm seeing range from "wait" to "don't worry." It has been a month since I first submitted my sitemap, and I'm still getting "couldn't fetch" under GC Sitemap, and "Indexed, not submitted in sitemap" when I do a URL Inspection. Help!

Just confirming - is this the URL you've entered in the Sitemaps section of your Google Search Console property? https://www.herocards.us/sitemap.xml

Yes, that's correct Ed. Thanks so much for considering my issue! I've submitted it as you show it (https://www.herocards.us/sitemap.xml), and also did the double// before sitemap.xml as some other online forums suggested. Neither one solves the "couldn't fetch" problem.

Any ideas?

Update: Squarespace Support confirms that my sitemap.xml file is correct, and set to public. They say it's a Google Console issue and send me to the GC Support, which is just another help forum. I've tried every solution submitted there, and have not had my sitemap fetched now for 6 weeks. I don't want to leave Squarespace, but I have to be able to get some SEO love or I'll be out of business fast! While it doesn't seem to be a Squarespace issue, I have to try something!

Anyone?

Did this get resolved for you? I am having the same problem.

I have the same issue as well. 😭

Same here. Still no fix from Squarespace?

Same here! Please help! It was ok for a while, but then ...since half january it says 'couldn't fetch'

Having this issue with my site as well. Has anyone found any solutions?

Same problem here!! Couldnt fetch

getting the same thing here.  All of the YT video showing how to are the same.  It's tiring to see people say, just do this and it never works, or the block out nearly the entire URL so you can't see what they typed and then they say again , it just works. ... um it doesn't.  

Ok so I fixed my Couldn't Fetch.  Mine was due to one last @ A-name record left in the Godaddy DNS records.  I input all of the Squarespace info correctly but left one old DNS entry that was causing the problem.  Once I deleted that record, instantly Google was able to fetch the sitemap and start indexing properly.  I hope that helps some folks with this issue.  

One thing to note is that I migrated my domain from an old Wordpress site to Sqrspc and wanted to keep the Domain with Godaddy instead of transferring the domain to Sqrspc.
