Sitemap redirecting to homepage | WordPress.org

I’m using The SEO Framework plugin on a new WordPress site, and cannot reach my sitemap, it redirects to my homepage.

According to your documentation, the plugin generates the sitemap dynamically, so I’m not sure if my NGINX configuration blocks the PHP that generates the sitemap or if my NGINX configuration is redirecting to the homepage due to another reason.

I have tried disabling various aspects of my configuration, as well as adding the following two blocks, and neither worked.

location = /sitemap.xml {
    rewrite ^/sitemap.xml$ "/?the_seo_framework_sitemap=xml" permanent;
}

rewrite ^/sitemap\.xml$ /index.php?the_seo_framework_sitemap=xml last;
rewrite ^/sitemap\.xsl$ /index.php?the_seo_framework_sitemap=xsl last;

My current NGINX config:

# Redirect HTTP -> HTTPS
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example1.ca www.example1.ca example2.ca www.example2.ca;

    return 301 https://example1.ca$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name example2.ca;
    return 301 https://example1.ca$request_uri;
# SSL parameters
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/example2-fullchain.pem;

Any help would be great!
