I guess I just assumed I could retrieve this somehow without needing the backup codes. Lesson learned. I took your advice @Brogan and made the adjustments before removing the code you provided. I have access again and have stored my backup codes. Thank you for you help. And you, too, @Jake B.

Is this going to happen each time one has to get a new phone or did I just mess this up somehow?

I've likely missed something but I'm a bit at a loss as to how to retrieve my authentication. I have the app on my phone again and I've added what I thought it the correct account, my Google one, but that doesn't seem to be correct. The codes provided by my Google account are not working. How...

My small community has remained small for quite some time and I'd like to explore methods of advertising that don't break our tiny bank. We're a crowd-funded and tightly knit bunch but a lot of the old regulars have fallen off the face of the Earth, leaving those who remain with mostly a ghost...

I've been looking around for an add-on that allows me to feature approved Twitch channels in some way but haven't been able to quite find what I need. Is anyone aware of such an add-on that I can try out and hopefully pay the creator for?

@OperaManiac Just wanted to report back that while we didn't end up using the .htacces code you generously supplied here we did use your help to diagnose the issue. Google is now reporting no issues with crawling our site and I'm waiting for a full-fledged proper index as we speak. Thank you...

You are correct. I found it, here's the contents:

This part's a bit confusing to me, we seem to have 2 of them. One is sitting in the root directory and it contains this: ...and one is sitting in our public_html directory but is named htaccess.txt. It contains this:

Okay, I think my host found the target: our htaccess file. The moment he disabled it the Fetch as Google worked liked a charm and the Google Search Console was able to pick up our sitemap. Unfortunately, a bunch of stuff on the forum broke and began returning 404 errors so we had to re-enable...

May I direct your attention to my Troubleshooting thread? https://xenforo.com/community/threads/not-getting-any-crawlers-on-site.133130/

Weird. I can't change the permissions in my file manager. Gonna go ahead and guess that's a web host problem? Just found this in the Google Search Console. Is this helpful for diagnosing what's going wrong?

I'm sorry but the stuff they're talking about in there is beyond the scope of my limited abilities. I don't really understand what Brogan is saying in there. Is it possible that by generating a sitemap.xml and deleting the sitemap.php that I've somehow goofed up XenForo's ability to even...

Been talking to my host a lot and they are baffled, there's no good reason that Google or anyone does not have permission to view my sitemap. They advised to use .xml format and to generate a new sitemap. XenForo's admin panel is no longer letting me download one (I get a vague error that it...

@Matt C. Much appreciated. I have a follow-up question, though: is this normal after entering "sitemap.php" into that field or have I done something wrong?

I've figured out the adding my site thing but the sitemap process eludes me. The search console is asking me to submit something "www.sakugacity.com/" but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to put here. Am I putting the .XML file that Xenforo spat out somewhere specific? Sorry, I've never ever done...
