Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
The sitemap contains the 10 posts and the 6 pages you have currently on your website so it seems that it’s updating just fine on this website.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
The sitemap stopped updating on my Google search console. I have attached the screenshot in the sensitive data. The two latest posts are not included in the sitemap on GSC. Also When I inspect a link, GSC also indicated no referring sitemaps detected or temporary processing error. Please let me know if that’s an issue or if it’s normal
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
The URL is already set to index, but didn’t use your sitemap to discover it.
Please note that each time Google uses a sitemap to find a URL, the count of the Discovered URLs increases by one. Sitemaps is only one of the few methods Google uses to discover your URLs.
When the count of the Discovered URLs is zero or does not match your actual sitemap in your Google Search Console, it means Google didn’t use the sitemap to find the URLs.
It mostly happens when you have good internal linking or use the Instant Indexing plugin.
Here’s a link for more information:

Hope that helps.
