Hello to all forumotion members, I would like to share the experience of verifying google, which mostly manages to verify or not. Maybe the topic is not ideal in this section but there are thousands of topics so I wouldn't know where I am from as a beginner.
I would say before starting to create a forum I know it is confusing and difficult who starts and the effort we put in to gain knowledge especially about sitemap xml to verify in google search engine.

The first thing I would say from experience is that the sitemap works and that there is no need to force, redo it to work as well as possible, even though you did it first, choose a template and stay, do not change anything, do not force because every change of template will change the structure of the forum.

Everything works perfectly without sitemap.xml you just need to add the verification code and leave time to do it because google gives time it can't achieve results at once it takes 24 hours

Don't change the template much because you will lose the updated sitemap.xml normally as it is
everything works normally and well.

I apologize if there are mistakes in the river because I am from Serbia.

Hello,

Do you have a problem you need help with? That is what this section is for.
