  • In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create an XML Sitemap with the Yoast SEO WordPress plugin and submit it to Google. Yoast recently deployed their 20.0 update that introduced some pretty big changes to the user interface that affects how you interact with some features, including the XML sitemap. This video walks you through that process and covers some of the changes that were made to the Yoast SEO WordPress plugin during the 20.0 update.

      Is this only for WordPress? Also when submitting a sitemap. Is it just your website URL, or does it have to be each page within the website that has to be submitted?

    • @blogwithben
      @blogwithben  Год назад +1

      Yep, it's for WordPress. And when submitting, you only have to do it for your primary domain. :)

      Hi! Thanks for watching! Hmmmmm it could be because you have a large site with a lot of items. You can add them all to your GSC account. You can submit up to 500 sitemap index files for each site in your Search Console account. Hope that helps and thanks again!

      Hi! Thanks for watching! Sorry you're dealing with that. There could be a lot of things causing the issue. I've heard that if you submit your sitemap url with http rather than https that it helps. Not sure why, but I've heard that that works sometimes. Try that and let me know. Thanks!
