    @realtek3546 Can you please provide us with a link to the sitemap so we can check for any issues with the sitemap?

    If you delete and resubmit the sitemap does it resolve the issue with the post sitemap not being seen by Google Search Console?

    No, this does not solve the problem.

    Hi @realtek3546,

    Thanks for getting back to us with more information.

    We checked the post sitemap and we see that it’s working correctly. There are no errors being displayed when the sitemap is loaded. We also could not find anything that’s blocking the sitemap from being crawled.

    Do you see any errors in Google Search Console?

    Hi,

    We understand Google is not seeing the post sitemap here https://novacode.space/post-sitemap.xml. That’s odd as the content on the post sitemap is appearing in Google.

    For example https://novacode.space/rabota-s-google-search-console/ appears here in Google.

    In addition, we did a curl check on: https://novacode.space/rabota-s-google-search-console/ and it shows an error with your SSL certificate (indeed this seems to affect all the URLs on your site). See image: https://pasteboard.co/JaLwfMR.png

    It reads:

    curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
    More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

    curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
    establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
    how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

    Also, your robots.txt file here has a lot of disallow rules, while none of them at first glance seem to affect your post sitemap unless you have a specific reason we suggest the default ones described below.

    To resolve the issue you are having we suggest the following actions:

    1. Contact your host provider for more information about the SSL problem. They can help resolve it.

    2. We suggest having the default rules, as if Google needs to access resources in those files certain disallow rules prevent Google from doing so. This means Google does not have all the information to understand and then index the page.?This guide explains more:?https://yoast.com/wordpress-robots-txt-example/ and this guide explains how to edit the robots.txt: https://yoast.com/help/how-to-edit-robots-txt-through-yoast-seo/

    You can use the defaults below.

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
    Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

    3. Then complete the following to get Google to recrawl your sitemaps

    A. Clear all your caching from your theme, plugin, server, CDN like CloudFlare or browser. If you are not sure how to clear caching from theme/plugin please speak to those authors. If you want to clear cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser use this guide:?https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/.

    B. Delete your sitemap in Google. Doing so will not hurt the SEO of the site. This guide explains more (scroll to the bottom):?https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183669?hl=en.

    C. Submit the sitemap again. Be sure to submit only sitemap_index.xml and nothing else.?This guide explains more:?https://kb.yoast.com/kb/submit-sitemap-search-engines/.

    D. Monitor the results to see if the issue resolves and pages get indexed.
