OK, re?eno.

That link shows 404 from my browser(s)?

https://io.bikegremlin.com/pocetna/sitemap.xml

As for the language tag, my other language is set to hr (“Croatian” – same as Serbian, only nationalists decided for Serbian to use only Cyrillic, and Croatian to only use Latin script – for the same language, that had both scripts officially when I was at school, and with everyone in Serbia primarily using the Latin script… ?? – not going to politics, just explaining why it’s set to Croatian ).

Anyway, it’s no bug.

When I rename robots.txt, TSF puts its own, showing this:

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

Sitemap: https://io.bikegremlin.com/sitemap.xml

—-

So no sitemap added for the other languages (default/main is English, the other language is Croatian – hr).

I’d use the time to write everything down – what you tested and how. The standard stuff: when the problem first occured. Whether anything was changed/updated prior to the malfunction… Since you are likely to be asked that – save at least some time in solving the problem once the tech. support is operational. ??

Writing things down often helps me figure out the problem cause, or at least get an idea what else to try.

It happened regardless of the hosting – not with just one hosting provider. Both on cPanel and DirectAdmin servers.

MXroute suggests this might have caused the (temporary, now gone) hick-ups:

All works fine now.

Seems to have started working. ??

Marking this as resolved. No idea what was wrong, nor why it works now – but it does.

If it is of any help – noted everything I tried and tested so far, along with my setup (configuration) in a structured way and with all the details I could think of – in case it helps pinpoint the problem:

Not suspecting this plugin to be causing the problem – but if you have any ideas, it would be appreciated.

It’s nothing urgent, I’m not “loosing millions”, but would like to fix this, of course. ??

Based on info shared here:
https://community.mxroute.com/t/emails-not-working-from-hosting-servers/1205

I suspect the problem to be either:

Hosting provider/server related (more likely).
MXroute related – less likels.
The least likely scenario is that Easy WP SMTP, WordPress Mail SMTP, and Infinite WP all stopped working at the same time.

Still if you have any ideas what to check and where to look, I’d appreciate it.

Will mark this as resolved in a few days – since I don’t suspect the problem to be related to this plugin. At least not for now.

Solved. ??

Knowledgebase is a great thing – and the easiest one to leave for tomorrow. ??

Anyway – sitemaps are acting a bit funny on my Polylang websites.
Tried disabling Cloudflare – so it works as DNS only.
Tried disabling Litespeed cache plugin as well.

Incognito browser window, f12 – network – cache disabled.

Still it shows only one language articles no matter which language I add.
Website is in en and hr, but I can add es – it will show a page – but always the same list of posts – the ones in English (or whichever language is the default one).

Tried renaming robots.txt on the server – didn’t help. These are its contents now:

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

Sitemap: https://io.bikegremlin.com/sitemap.xml
Sitemap: https://io.bikegremlin.com/sitemap.xml?lang=hr

Turns out it was server related. Nothing to do with the plugin.

Thanks – will give it a go and see how it goes. ??

Thanks for the lightning-fast reply (not being sarcastic)! ??

Yup – it’s all there.
Googled, didn’t find that answer.
Thanks again. ??

Here’s an example:

https://bicikl.bikegremlin.com/1007/koji-tip-bicikla-odgovara-za-moje-potrebe/#comment-1543

Sometimes it’s rel=”nofollow”, sometimes rel=”nofollow ugc”, sometimes added the options for opening it in a separate tab (noopener…).

EDIT: nope, doesn’t help either. ??
Early to cheer.

This seems to do the trick, in case it helps anyone else:

// BEGIN remove nofollow from links in comments

add_filter( ‘comment_text’, ‘remove_rel_nofollow_attribute’ );
function remove_rel_nofollow_attribute( $comment_text ) {
$comment_text = str_ireplace(‘ rel=”nofollow”‘, ”, $comment_text );
return $comment_text;
}

// END remove nofollow from links in comments
