XF 2.1 Where is the sitemap?

[Dimitrios]

Hi all. I'm having some issues I'm trying to resolve.

Either way, I need to submit my sitemap to google. Where can I find it. I see a sitemap.php in my /forum/ directory but the date there is from 2019 so, that cannot be it.

Where can I find the sitemap?

Thanks

try this : /public_html/internal_data/sitemaps

Add this to your URL /sitemap.xml

I see the content and it's wrong.

I was using the alias of the domain instead of the basic domainname. I just changed that.

In the sitemap I see the alias being used.

Is there a way to force re-generation of the sitemap?

Thanks

Go AdmCP-Tols-Rebuild Caches-Rebuild search index-Delete the index before rebuilding

the Index? what I did there was to rebuild the sitemap. It contained the wrong URLs. Now it seems ok.

I submitted it to Google through the Search Console.

What's bothering be is that I see there, status "couldn't fetch" :


but then, when I click on it I see "sitemap processed successfully":




Which one to beleive?

That's incorrect. That rebuilds the internal forum search index in your database. Nothing to do with Google or other search engines.

After this need to rebuild the sitemap...

Google sites are in an almost chronic lag state these days, ever since the COVID restrictions had them move most of their employees to remote work. Give it a while, like a few weeks, and it'll probably catch up to itself.
