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

    @SLGray said.

    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.

    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.

    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.
