HTML AND 403 error

Hi, I checked your sitemap: it gives a 200 OK response and shows just fine.

No, https://imgur.com/a/lMcoZ1L

Look at that screenshot

OK, but this is what I see when I visit your sitemap: https://imgur.com/a/ecSs6g7 (notice status code 200)

So the search engine must be seeing something different. Is there something that is blocking search engines on your server or WordPress installation?

“HTTP 403 error (Forbidden)” that means something is blocking search engine access on the server level. Maybe something in your .htaccess file?

iam using basic htaccess

Solution ? so many issues like this with your plugin bro

Sorry? You assume it’s related to my plugin but to me it seems a problem with your setup, bro… Are you blocking feed indexation maybe?

Really ? Sorry about that, Can u help me whats the problem ?
I dont know where should i ask because i lost all of my traffic due to this hacking problem and sitemap issue

the problem is i need xml version not html version

https://saham.news/sitemap-news.xml & https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/sitemap.html are html version
https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/sitemap_news.xml this is correct xml version

The thing is that https://saham.news/sitemap-news.xml is XML. At least from where I am seeing it. Check the source with Ctrl+u (in most browsers) and you can see that it looks like the source code of https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/sitemap_news.xml, not at all that of https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/sitemap.html

Or use the online validator https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html to check your sitemaps. It will tell you it’s all good.

The only explanation I can think of it that Google is seeing something else. In your first post you wrote it’s getting a “General HTTP error: HTTP 403 error (Forbidden)” response. This looks like something is blocking (forbidding) access from search engines.

You can use the Fetch as Google tool in your Google Search Console account to see what Google sees.
