Hi Guys,

It seems after a few days (after my last post), either google tried recrawling it, and recognised it since. Took longer than estimated though. Must be their bots crawl and verification rate.

But thank you for checking.

And to answer yes I can verify I removed EVERY reference of previous sitemaps. And only had this one. Either way the problem seems to have resolved from googles own ineptitude/slowness.

Thank you for the assistance guys!

Hi Maybellyne,

Thank you so much for replying, I have done what you asked and made sure the file is not being cached as well. I added an exception to that specific URL in WP FASTEST CACHE, (cloudflare should be fine irregardless of that but to be sure I cleared that too).

In addition, yes I updated Yoast just now to the latest version, and also made sure that any security settings in ALL IN ONE WORDPRESS SECURITY don’t block google bots.

However upon submission of the sitemap, it seems the error still occurs from google.

Aside from waiting to see if google does validate it or not. Is there any further fixes that can be done?

Via email even I could create a specific user for your developers if need be so they can go in manually and have a look into my websites back-end if need be.

Thank you once again, in advance.

Thats ok WPSMORT, I appreciate it all the same, and yes It ended up being that somehow wordpress got stuck in maintenance mode from the server side, so the server host had to fix it. (Even though they seemed adamant it wasnt a problem on their end)

Thank you again guys!

Unfortunately even after doing that it seems the issue is still around. I did a manual clearance of the cache(downloaded backups via ftp just in case). And now the maintenance mode is constantly showing all over the whole website.

Now I know this is out of the scope of your plugin, but out of curiosity would you happen to have a guess as to what may be causing this? I am speaking with the web host right now

Thank you kindly for the reply everyone. I was sure I turned off WP_DEBUG but I will be sure to do that.

And after disabling the plugins folder with a rename, should I restore the name to the folder after I perform any wordpress core updates? As the plugins used are necessary for proper site security and performance fixes.

Hi guys,

A client of mine is having the same issue with theirs, however I cannot login to the admin backend (and we are using software to change the default url of the admin login for security reasons).

We also have the same error.

the website in question is: https://www.bindweld.com/
