Hi @John128 👋 and welcome to Kinsta Community!
My best guess is that the URL you submitted in the Google Search console was not .XML page/URL but HTML page/URL. Similar to what’s reported/suggested [here](https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/6353519/your-sitemap-appears-to-be-an-html-page-please-use-a-supported-sitemap-format-instead?hl=en).
As I can see your sitemap is accessible (looks like you have Yoast plugin installed) and you could just add `/sitemap_index.xml` after your WordPress domain URL (e.g.: `https://yourwpdomainanme/sitemap_index.xml`) and you might want to use this URL format to submit in the Google Search console. This is not something that we (Kinsta) can control though.
Best regards,
Agus
