Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue with your website sitemap not getting updated in the search console. We understand the importance of having your URLs discovered by Google for better visibility.
Based on the information you provided, it seems like you have already tried increasing the Links Per Sitemap option by 1 to refresh the sitemap. If this basic fix did not have any effect, there are a few more troubleshooting steps you can follow:
-
Exclude the Sitemap From Caching: Ensure that your sitemap is not being cached. You can refer to this knowledgebase article for detailed instructions on how to exclude sitemaps from caching.
-
Add the Correct Version of Your Sitemap to Google Search Console: Make sure you have added the correct version of your sitemap to Google Search Console. You can verify this by navigating to Settings → General in your WordPress dashboard and checking the Site Address (URL) field.
If after following these steps, the issue persists, you may need to resubmit your sitemap in Google Search Console. You can refer to our tutorial on submitting a sitemap to Google for detailed instructions.
If you continue to face the issue or have any other questions, please feel free to reply here, and our support team will assist you further.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation in resolving this matter.
Thank you!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please note that the Discovered URLs 0 that you see in Google Search Console just means that the URLs in the sitemap were already found by Googlebot by other means, instead of via the sitemap. For example, Googlebot may have found the URLs from internal links or possibly from links on another site. It mostly happens when you have good internal linking or use the Instant Indexing plugin.

Hello,
That’s a temporary error on Google’s end and should be resolved independently. Since the page is indexed, there is nothing to be worried about.
