Error with news sitemap

  • Hi,

    About the error : that comes from the fact that the stylesheet is pushed to the CDN you are using and therefor hosted on another domain, which is not allowed in XML. If you have the option to exclude files/urls then you could fix the issue. Otherwise: it is not really an issue because the search engine (GN indexer) does not need the XSL stylesheet, it is only there for human eyes.

    About the number of posts in your Google News sitemap: it only includes posts from the last 48 hours, as per GN guidelines. Older posts are not considered to be news. They will still be references in your normal XML sitemap.

    Thank you for the response.
    My posts are not indexed from the last 2 days.
    Usually, news posts get indexed in 1 hour.
    Can you help me with this?

    I’m afraid there is no way to force indexing. As long as you have no errors in Google Search Console, you can only continue posting new (and quality) news and hope for the best…
