I have a website where the sitemap is not created. According to Yoast, it should be on the /sitemap_index.xml page, but the page does not exist.
There’s one thing to mention that I think might have to do with it: We have two sites, https://20test.com and https://20test.com/us/, They both have an individual WordPress + WooCommerce installs on it.
Could this have something to do with the sitemap not being created?
I’ve tried Yoast their sitemap troubleshooting (refresh permalinks in WP settings), but it did not work.
Google Search console understandably could not fetch our site map and says our site is not on Google without explaining any details.
The two sites have individual Google Search console accounts and https://20test.com/ works fine. Also, the sitemap is created correctly.
I’m curious what you think about his situation and if someone knows if having two WordPress installs on one domain could cause the sitemaps not to be created for one of the two sites.
Kind regards,
Sven
1) For example, I want to use woocommerce. Then I need to install it twice, one for each WP install. I know that the user will need to relogin for each WP install, this is ok, but beside this will be ok with everything else? Could this lead for some security issues?
2) If I want to use mailchimp as my mailing system, I will need to install also two plugins and this is very handy, because this way I can separate my subscribers by language. But is it possible to make two accounts for one domain? Could this lead for some issues too?
New to the forums, and I hope that I can correctly convey this so that someone can help.
I was working in my dashboard on my site – www.theflourishingbaker.com. I decided I wanted to try and customize my ‘Read More’ link to be centered on my post rather than off to the right. I went into my functions.php after reading some posts that showed I could manipulate the code from there. Bad idea. Having no coding experience what so ever, I added something and got the white screen after trying to update. I completely panicked and thought I couldn’t fix it. I tried to close everything out to go back into WordPress from the Mojo website, and it asked me to install WordPress 4.0. I had already done that weeks ago, so I wasn’t sure why it was asking me to do that but I did it anyways.
It installed and now I had two instances of WordPress in my installs. Version 3.9.1 and now the 4.0. I went to log in under my normal user name and password and nothing. I tried again, nothing. Finally I asked it to recover my password and it said my username wasn’t valid. It was like I never had a WordPress.
Finally after many tears and freak outs, we were able to go back to my hosting control panel and restore my site from a backup that had just been completed an hour before. (Whew!) So the site is back up and working. However, going back into the WordPress I still see there are two instances of WordPress in there. The 3.9.1 version and the 4.0 version. I was able to finally get into my Dashboard and thought everything was ok, until I went to go edit one of my posts. Now I am seeing this happen: (Screenshot of problem via this link)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byj5PIugLtS2bWd6YUtYZFh4TU0/view?usp=sharing
My posts are showing up on the website, but when I go to try and edit them or create a new post, I have no options for anything. The Add Media, Shortcodes, and Add Contact form are the only things I can use where as before, I had plenty of options for creating posts.
I am thinking it is because of the two installs that is creating the problem. I have backed up my site after the restore, so in case I have to uninstall something, I have all my files.
Please let me know if you need any more information and I will gladly provide.
Thanks in advance!
To see main site’s function: https://vitalitydirectory.com/locator and use zip code search: 33756 to see the directory and select a member to see the profile.
Did NOT want members to use WordPress for blogging. Our WordPress theme is NOT compatible with the BuddyPress Plug-ins for blogging or forums. (Wanted blogging from a tab within their profile, but theme doesn’t support)
Here is what we have done so far: Created a Sub-domain (for member blog) https://blog.vitalitydirectory.com = BuddyPress 1.8.1, S2 Member 130816, and WP 3.6.
Due to customization, can’t use WPMU. (this site is currently secured)
Want the user to either login to main site and have automatic access to blog on sub-domain or IF they have to also login to blog on sub-domain, to be able to use same login from main site.
Do NOT want duplicate profiles in each, but do want the blog post to link back to member profile page on main site.
Each install has its own database.
QUESTION: Can we share the member information from our MAIN site by pointing our sub-domain site to some of the tables in the main site database? How?
]]>I’ve finally convinced one of my clients to upgrade their wordpress site. We’re installing a new theme and upgrading to 3.4
I’ve installed the newest version of wordpress in a subdirectory https://www.amadeabailey.com/staging/wordpress
As you can see, a 404 is thrown every time I try to access the staging blog. I imagine I have an issue with my .htaccess file in the root directory. Here is the code:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Do I need to change something to allow me to configure the testing version of wordpress?
Hope to hear back from someone soon. I’m somewhat of a noob and am trying to update the site w/out affecting the live version until everything is complete.
Thanks in advance for the quick, helpful replies!

]]>I have https://www.dubbspotrecords.com permalinks set up with no problems. A webconfig exists in the root for the permalink change. This has it’s own install of wordpress.
I also have https://wdsrradio.com set up under the same host in it’s own folder. Root (dubbspotrecords.com) > root folder > wdsrradio. Within wdsrradio folder I have a separate wordpress install with it’s own database.
Problem:
When I change permalinks in wdsrradio.com, it breaks my whole site with a 500 error. I change it back to default permalinks, everything is fine.
I’m on a godaddy window hosted server. I have the ability to add as many domain names as I want under this plan. Which is why I have a second install of wordpress with a separate domain name.
I already know that I cannot use the same web.config file in the root in the wdsrradio folder. I’ve read that the root has it’s own web.config and the wdsrradio folder should have it’s own web.config.
I guess what I am looking for is the information that needs to be added to the web.config in the root to make the web.config in the wdsrradio folder work.
I just cannot figure out why it’s breaking my site. And I don’t want to use the default permalink structure because it’s not good for seo. And I did change the wordpress url within wordpress to wdsrradio.com and not dubbspotrecords.com/wdsrradio….
Do I need to add a variable to the existing web.config file in the root to let it be known that wdsrradio is a separate install of wordpress?
or
Do I need to add a variable to the web.config that’s in the wdsrradio folder with the separate wordpress install?
I obviously do not know what the variable is. I just want to be able to have both sites dubbspotrecords.com and wdsrradio.com permalinks working for good seo.
dubbspotrecords.com works fine and has a web.config
wdsrradio.com will break with a 500 error if I change the permalink structure from any other than default.
I read somewhere to put index.php in front of the custom permalink. I do not want that. I want all links to be wdsrradio.com/postname.
If anyone has experienced this, please address it with a link that has some step by step to fix this or any other resources to fix it.
Things to remember:
Two separate wordpress installs (one root, one root folder).
Both wordpress have their own databases but under the same host.
Web.config and permalinks works in wordpress in root.
Web.config breaks site in root folder (wdsrradio).
