[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Yoast SEO Google Webmaster Sitemap wouldn't load

  • I’m using Yoast WordPress SEO: XML Sitemaps

    I have enabled the site map and am trying to load the sitemap.xml file to google webmaster.

    the site map url is

    https://www.mcdadi.com/page-sitemap.xml

    I what I enter in the Google webmaster add sitemap was this

    page-sitemap.xml

    I tested the above URL in a browser and it came up fine. But when I add that into the Google Webmaster Sitemap area and try to test it I receive this error below. I have enabled under the privacy settings to Allow search engines to index this site. So I don’t know what other issues it can be.

    I figured out that

    Googlebot is blocked

    The code in it right now is

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
    Disallow: /wp-includes/

    How do I allow Googlebot’s to be able to access the sitemap?

    Thx

    The URL for your sitemap should be https://mcdadi.com/sitemap_index.xml but I got an error when I visited it on your site.

    I have the same problem. Just submitted sitemap_index.xml (from https://audeladudeuil.com/sitemap_index.xml) to google webmaster and I get the same error message as knssconsulting mentions above. URL with restricted access by a robots.txt file.

    I have bascially 5 error messages like these : categorysitemap, page-sitemap, perfect-quotes-sitemap, post-sitemap and post-tag-sitemap

    It says the treatment date is august 27th, we are sept 11th today – I have submitted the sitemap today only. Before the site was noindex-nofollow.

    What should I do, what is wrong ?
