Bing Ping URL Incorrect – Fix Provided

  • I noticed that Bing was not being notified of my updated sitemap so upon investigation I found the URL that the plugin has being pinged for Bing is incorrect. Here’s the fix and hopefully Joost sees this and fixes it in his plugin.

    Edit: /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/wpseo-functions.php
    Look for line 529. It will look like this:

    wp_remote_get( 'https://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?sitemap=' . $sitemapurl );

    Change that line to this:

    wp_remote_get( 'https://www.bing.com/ping?sitemap=' . $sitemapurl );

    and you’re done.

    This is for version 1.5.3.3 of WordPress SEO. Earlier versions can be fixed the same way but the line number may vary.
