Click on one and look what error it is. Mostly it may caused by robots.txt limitation if you have certain directories written not to be searched by search engines. the /data directory must be allowed.

 

[Carl]

The error is

We've detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL path that includes the www prefix (for instance, http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml). However, the URLs listed inside your Sitemap don't use the www prefix (for instance, http://example.com/myfile.htm).

Guess i just need to re-submit without the www.

 

[Carl]

How do i remove the www. from the sitemap?

How do i remove the www. from the sitemap?

I would assume it goes off the board URL in basic board information in your XF ACP? Not sure though

You just need the index sitemap. You dont have to add all of these. Just try adding this directory to your sitemaps and see if that works

/forum/sitemap

This is an issue with Google... both your google account and your sitemap must match. If your google account has the WWW, then your sitemap must have the WWW... and vice versa. According to the message Google gave you, your google account lists the WWW.

Jaxel, Thats what i suspected at first but then i resubmitted my site in webmaster tools without the www. and still got the error - vice versa before i got it the other way around saying it was without the www.

This take a litle time. I had the same issue before. Wait a few hours & 24 hours and re-submit.

once you have registered both www and no www, you can set the google preference 'preferred domain'. have you done that?

No... once again that is wrong... THERE IS ONLY ONE SITEMAP YOU NEED TO SUBMIT

/sitemap

THAT IS IT! DO NOT SUBMIT ANYTHING ELSE...

Also, with Google, they have issues if you are using a TXT field in your DNS to confirm your ownership and this "not matching" error. This is a common issue with Google and you will have to email their tech support to get it fixed.

but /sitemap is an empty directory, and seems to stay empty, whilst /sitemaps seems to be populated with forums_1.xml - is that correct?? Also, when i manually create /sitemap on install it stops and tels me that it cannot find the dir, whereas if i create /sitemaps then it proceeds no problems....

 

[Kaiser]

Just want to give a big thanks to Jaxel for this amazing mod. Thank man.

'/community/data/sitemaps/index.xml' is the only sitemap i have, and it works fine for me.
'/community/sitemap' sits empty, despite chmod 777

Did you run the cron?

 

[Kaiser]

Run the cron and it should be like this http://adminbb.org/sitemap

 

[dieketzer]

if the cron wasnt running i would have no sitemap at all!
