The photos in the topic do not work and I do not understand where to add this sitemap.xml.

I believe everyone does not understand that all you have to do is add this, sitemap.xml, to your forum's link in Google Search Consoles under sitemaps. Click the add/test button and add sitemap.xml in the box that appears after your forum's link and then click submit.

Here:  https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

You have to have an account and add your forum.

After logging in, you should see a section on the right that says sitemaps.  If you do not, click the dashboard on the left side.

Where should I add sitemap.hml?

EG http://www.hotrofm.net/sitemap.xml

>>: domain/sitemap.xml

In the picture where is my site address should I do so? http://smurfa.bulgarianforum.net/sitemap.xml

Added my site 2 years ago now can not change the name.How does the name of my site change to do so.

Click the forum, and you should see a sitemaps section.

I clicked on the forum, but do not see a "Sitemap" nowhere.

Crawl/Walking > Sitemaps

See what the error is.
1.


2.

Is your forum open to guests?

Guests can read but can not download files and view photos.

I see the mistake. You added hml, not xml.

I added it as you said and again gave me the same mistake.
/http://smurfa.bulgarianforum.net/sitemap.xml

Give it a couple days and see if the error is still there.

1. I leave this link that I added http://smurfa.bulgarianforum.net/sitemap.xml ?
2. I have to wait a few days to see if it's okay?

1. Correct

2.  Yes, give it time to exactly crawl your forum and sitemap.

you copy /sitemap.xml to sitemap

not copy domain/sitemap.xml

ok?

Does that have to look like?

That is how it looks in my console. All you had to do was add sitemap.xml in the box, not the whole address.

4916 pages have been submitted.
Why does it show that only 2 pages are indexed?

Because it takes time for them to exactly crawl your forum. Think about it: billions of forums on the Internet and each one is crawled by search engines.

Do you mean that it takes time and I will have more than two indexed pages?

Yes, it takes time.

I submitted mine in September, and it is still about half done.

You will not have 2 pages. It is just a way to help search engines to crawl your forum.

Thank you. I will mark the topic solved after 4-5 days to see how things will develop.
