@sterndata: OK !

Thanks for every answer !

Maybe I didn’t make myself understood; The exact doubt is:

** Are drafts indexed by Google ? **

As I have said, this is not happening to me, but I have read that it happened to someone else. The purpose of my question is to avoid the possibility that unfinished content would appear on the results for any search in internet, and also to avoid, as I have read it could happen, that if the user clicks on one of those possible search results, a “page not found” could be shown.

If this cannot happen, I will continue using drafts. If, on the other hand, It could happen, I would avoid the use of drafts. That’s all.

In my blog, users can make comments but are not allowed to write posts nor pages, whether they are logged in or not. I’m the only one that can see my drafts, as no one but me can save a draft in the blog.

Everything seems to be working now. It was just a matter of checking the indexation by searching “site:coffeetalking.net” in Google, and wait a few hours.

Hi @kimwhite, and thanks again.

The indexing seems to be working by now.

I have just checked it again, writing in the google search:

site:coffeetalking.net

… And now it works ! I think the problem was I was writing it with www:

site:www.coffeetalking.net

Should it work with www, or this is expected behaviour ?

Thanks

Hi @kimwhite,

No, I don’t have search engines discouraged. I had that version checked until a WEEK ago, but I understand that a week is enough time for Google to be able to index my website, specially due to the fact that I explicitly ask it to index it from the search console.

What other options I have to investigate what’s happening ?

Thanks,

Roger

Hi @liamdempsey, thanks for your answer.

I don’t know how to configure .htaccess, but the file on my root directory does not seem to have any special thing related to my problems I post it here as I think it does not contain any private info:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Also, as I wrote, I cannot understand why the sitemap files does not reside in the root folder as expected.

Thanks again,

Roger
