    Hi there

    I’m trying to get my site indexed by Google but the sitemap won’t be fetched.

    I found the robot.txt had Disallow: / because it had been a staging site but now it’s live and I’ve adjusted the robot.txt to be:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
    Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    Sitemap: https://amberleynz.nz/sitemap_index.xml

    But Google still won’t fetch the sitemap. Can you please help me?

  • Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with getting your site indexed by Google. Thank you for providing the details about your robots.txt file and the adjustments you’ve made.

    It seems like you’ve already made the necessary changes to your robots.txt file to allow Google to crawl your site and access the sitemap. Since you’ve already made these changes, I recommend validating your sitemap to ensure it is correctly configured.

    You can use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to confirm that your sitemap is set up correctly. Once you’ve validated your sitemap, click VALIDATE SITEMAP to ensure there are no issues detected.

    If your sitemap is correctly configured, the tool will return a success message. If there are still issues with fetching the sitemap after validating it, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you for reaching out to us, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue for you.
