Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
We checked the sitemap connected to this account, and we can see that all your 818 posts are available in your sitemap.
We can see that you have five post sitemaps that contains all your URL posts.
The posts sitemaps each contain an average of 200 URLs, and the last contains 18 URLs. This brings the total number of post URLs in the sitemap to 818 plus the homepage included in the first to 819.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,
Please note that each time Google uses a sitemap to find a URL, the count of the Discovered URLs increases by one. Sitemaps is only one of the few methods Google uses to discover your URLs.
When the count of the Discovered URLs is zero or does not match your actual sitemap in your Google Search Console, it means Google didn’t use the sitemap to find the URLs.
It mostly happens when you have good internal linking or use the Instant Indexing plugin.
Here’s a link for more information:

Looking forward to helping you.
