sitemap

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not being recorded in Google Search Console and the indexing of your pages and videos. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check if Your Sitemap is Accessible: Use a tool like httpstatus.io to check if your sitemap URL is accessible. This will help identify any issues preventing Googlebot from accessing it.
   

2. Ensure Correct Sitemap Submission: Make sure you have submitted the correct sitemap, which should be sitemap_index.xml. Verify that all inner sitemaps (like post-sitemap.xml) are showing up in your Google Search Console when you click on sitemap_index.xml.

3. Check Last Crawl Date: In Google Search Console, check the last crawl date for your sitemap. If it hasn’t been crawled since you published new content, you may need to wait or manually resubmit the sitemap.
   

4. Caching Issues: If your sitemap is being cached, you may need to exclude it from caching. You can refer to our tutorial on how to exclude Sitemaps from caching.

5. Request Indexing: If your content is not appearing in search results, you can request indexing through Google Search Console by clicking on REQUEST INDEXING for the specific URL.
   

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
