I would say ‘reading is fundamental’. W3 Total Cache is a very powerful plugin but it takes some knowledge and reading to set it up correctly.

I suggest starting over and walking through the steps one by one until you understand everything and can verify your work.

If you don’t have time, do a quicky and hire someone to get it set up for you. Believe me it’s worth the effort and if you hire someone it will pay for itself very quickly.

Yes I saw that after posting this. I’ve done so but gotten no reply back. Thank you for the assist.

Hello,

Yes, after making this post I was able to get in touch with support, and received a helpful answer quickly.

Unfortunately I could no longer edit this thread

I should revise this a little. We’ve been running it in a live environment for a couple months, but we had it running in a sandbox before that.

My problem was the sitemaps yoast produced were not getting indexed.

I was referenced to this page: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ on the yoast forum where I asked about this (not by their support, just another user)

Using that I created a static sitemap that google indexed correctly.

I don’t know what else to do now, because obviously it’s not dynamic

OK so now I’m really confused, and have nowhere else to go but here.

I generated a map as directed, by that link. This is the result (took 3 days to actually crawl)

This means that list, generated manually, is crawled with no issues. But the sitemaps generated by Yoast aren’t working for the posttype ‘page’.

I don’t know where else to go from here but Yoast for support.

Can you give me some guidance?

By the way, I also wanted to thank @pcosta88 for his help as well as @funboxhh

I appreciate it greatly

@funboxhh

I took your advice and manually created a sitemap.xml, uploaded it to the site and it’s now pending. I’ll report back the results. Thank you for the recommendation

While i’m on this topic, years back when i submitted a sitemap from Webmaster Tools it parsed it very quickly. When i submitted sitemaps through google search console it took several days to move from pending to active.

is this typical now?

yeah I found it. I meant to reply but had a phone call.

thank you!

Wups, second thought:

: link does not work. message: There is no group named “webmasters.”.

Any other ideas?

I did A. already. no help, but it did re-crawl because two pages came off that I had removed.

B. is my next action, and I had been trying to find this info myself, so i’m very appreciative.

I can confirm that sitemap shows 0 errors I don’t think I can upload images, but here is an image showing 0 errors, 27 submitted but none indexed (if there are indexed pages it would show another column on the right, next to ‘submitted’

I also checked the front page blog entries (there are 15) and all of them are listed in google based on your link

This image shows the sitemap in question ‘pages’ post type

This next image shows the overall sitemaps submitted. THere are no pages on the bottom 3 post types indexed, although some submitted. But the main issue is there are none indexed on the top sitemap for pages-sitemap.

Further, I manually went and looked, and every page that exists in the menu is indexed in Google. But since it’s not reporting here, Google and SEMrush both show no pages indexed for the main site. and i’m getting grief from the client. I just don’t know what to do next, and i don’t understand why Google is reporting no indexed pages there, when they are, in fact listed in Google.

Thank you

Hello and thanks for the reply. I actually got it figured out. You can delete this if you wish.
