XML Sitemap question

Hi,

Nope. While we are not sure what: https://www.computerblog.ro/sitemap_posts220.xml is as the Yoast sitemaps appear here: https://www.computerblog.ro/sitemap_index.xml (and you have 6 post-sitemaps) we do know having lots of Yoast-created sitemaps is not expected to hurt SEO.

However, we looked at this recent post: https://www.computerblog.ro/stiri/record-de-vanzari-pentru-playstation-4-2.html and we see it appearing on https://www.computerblog.ro/post-sitemap6.xml (at the bottom) yet we are not seeing it in Google.

We suggest three actions:

1. Confirm no errors appear in your Google Search Console for your sitemaps. If you have errors please describe them.

2. Can you confirm if you use Fetch as Googlebot that the issue is resolved? This will force Google to update the index. You may need to use it several times. This guide explains more:?https://kb.yoast.com/kb/fetch-as-googlebot/.

3. We suggest having the default robots.txt rules, as if Google needs to access resources in those files certain disallow rules prevent Google from doing so. This means Google does not have all the information to understand and then index the page.?This guide explains more:?https://yoast.com/wordpress-robots-txt-example/ and this guide explains how to edit the robots.txt:?https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-edit-robots-txt-through-yoast-seo/.

You can use the defaults below

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Hello an thanks,
Fetch as Google is fixing the problem in few hours, but i have to do it manually for each post, which is crazy.

Sitemaps list 3 urls as error, but when I test live them it looks everything ok and they are indexed also.

I will change the robots txt asap. Thanks for the advice.

Hi,

In that manner we suggest the following additional actions

1. Use the defaults for the robots.

2. Delete your sitemaps from Google Search Console. Doing so will not hurt the SEO of your site.

3. Clear ALL your caching from your theme, plugin, server, CDN like CloudFlare or browser. If you are not sure how to clear caching from theme/plugin please speak to those authors. If you want to clear cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser use this guide: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/.

4. Re-add the sitemaps using this guide: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/submit-sitemap-search-engines/#google

If the errors do not clear up and/or posts are still failing to get indexed, we suggest contacting Google for more information as Yoast is outputting the sitemap correctly. You may?contact Google by making a post on their forums:?https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters.

Thanks for the help.
I will try to update after I do all the steps.

Google visits the sitemap each time I update.
It just won’t go to the one with the new posts.
I can tell you it goes to TAGS, to post-sitemap 1 and 2, an then says: There are zero new links to index.

Looks pretty odd to me :-))
I wonder what happens if I generate sitemap differently.

Thanks
