Please help, google cannot fetch my sitemap, tried everything

My website has been up for 6 month, I have 150 url indexed automatically, and google still cannot fetch my sitemap.
I added the path to gsc and it always show "cannot fetch sitemap"

I tried :

- Using template sitemap by google instead of my own

- Putting my sitemap in different path

- Checked using google tool if the sitemap is accessible with robots.txt restriction

- Used xml sitemap checker

- Inspect the sitemap from gsc

- Used plain text list of url instead of xml

- Waited several month

- Submitting my sitemap using full url, and different way to point to the same path

- Added my sitemap full path to robots.txt

Everything is working and should be fine, but I still get this error. I checked my nginx logs and I just never received the request from google bot to fetch my sitemap. I get a requests when I manually use the url inspection tool, but never an automatic request for the sitemap.

What can I do ?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
