    Solved Google Console: Couldn't fetch Sitemap

    Post by WizardT August 11th 2023, 4:46 am

    I want to add my forum's sitemap to Google Console. I tried inserting "sitemap.xml" in the blank space. I also tried inserting "/sitemap.xml" and "/sitemap.xml/" because this was a suggested fix in other topics here and elsewhere online. Each time I get an error message: "Couldn't fetch Sitemap". I just can't understand what the issue is and how to fix it.

    I'm sorry, what do you mean by "well indexed"? My forum has been added to Google Console months ago and a lot of the important pages have already been indexed. The topic you provided a link to concerns verification of property in Google Console and says nothing about sitemaps. I have verified the property a long time ago.

    hello

    i think it is better to ask Google support if our solution didn't work 
    this is not something that has to do with us

    Okay then. I thought you might know the reason since this seems to be a common issue for ages.

    You can close the topic, if you want to.
