Not sure this is hepful

This is the image when I select “View the XML sitemap” in Yoast API’s:

What I see in Google Search Console:

Yes, API’s are enabled. Sorry for the delay. I’m not notified of replies.

I had changed robots.txt back to the original text. Have now reverted again, as you suggested. Sorry.

Tried that also. No change.

Thanks, ancawonka. Yes, the problem continued when I rolled back the site.

Found the culprit this morning. I have a password manager Lastpass that has an autofill feature for passwords. Somehow this autofilled Post titles. Disabled; all OK — except 3 days spent on the issue. Donn’t know why this started.

May have been tied into the caching, who knows? Again, thanks for your support.

Thanks. I have done so, but find that the issue appears when I change themes; ie the problem seems independent of the theme.

I have also rolled back to an earlier wp-content & database backup (when the problem did not occur. I also don’t see any other file time-stamped to indicate it was modified prior to the issue. (Will look again to be sure)

Maddening. Any other possible areas to investigate?

Thanks. I have already tried that. I must have an account to post on that site, and I am unfortunately not allowed to create an account. Have tried it several times.

Yes, but by restoring the old site from backup and more carefully transfering the links with GoDaddy handholding.

I suspect “operator error” was at the heart of the issue; made the xfr without full knowledge of the moving parts.

Thanks for checking up.

Thanks for the prompt reply. It worked like a charm. Outstanding addition to the new version. (Note to other users: I had to delete and reinsert galleries into my pages, but simple to do)

I was aware that the Reset feature was in the new version, and appreciate your reassurance that it is non-destructive. I have a limited understanding of links, slugs, etc. so I am extra conservative. (I saved a backup, just in case.)

Aside: NextGen is by far the most useful and well-documented plug-in I’ve used. Supported well, too. Thank you.

Update: I attempted to insert a newly-created gallery into a page via the attach-to-post icon and I get “Runtime Exception thrown”. I fear the solution is more complex than I thought. You advice appreciated.
