Hi
I have a client site who has had NO issues with google rankings up until recently not being found in google.
I figured out the problem that GOogle wanted new verification of the domain name for some reason. This was done years ago, but now all of a sudden wants it again.
But when I go in there, it still says “Couldn’t fetch” whhen I resubmit the Sitemap again ….
I can’t understand what is wrong.
I have uploaded the Sitemap again with no extra / etc ..
I have been googling to see what else is the issue.
URL is https://domainname.com.au/sitemap_index.xml
So when I submit sitemap to google I just add the last section with NO extra / slash
sitemap_index.xml
So I am doing it correctly as I do it all the time.
Domain is now verified again with Google. Sitemap still cannot fetch.
So not sure what is causing it.
When I click on the “Couldn’t fetch” writing in red it says:
Sitemap could not be read
Genearl HTTP error.
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap
But that’s all the info I get.
Any advance would be great. Could it be my sitemap on the WordPress website somehow ?
Thanks
Kristin
