Google Cannot find sitemap.html

    Dear Marios,
    Generally speaking, I like this plugin. However, in the past few days, Google AdSense has been throwing tons of errors at me saying that sitemap.html is marked “noindex” in the robots.txt file created by the plugin. I cannot find any such limitation in the file, nor any setting that would block the sitemap from being followed by the bot.

    AdSense is also saying that robots.txt is blocking them from dozens of URLs that in fact, do not exist and never have.

    Any ideas? I have deactivated the plugin temporarily.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    If you use your browser to “view source” of the sitemap.html page you’ll see at the top that there’s a line of code that reads

    <meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow”/>

    My plugin doesn’t add that sort of code. I imagine whatever plugin you’re using to create the sitemap is also adding this code. However, the XML sitemap shouldn’t need to be accessed by Google Adsense so I’m not sure you actually have a real problem.

    I’m going to guess that you either moved on to another plugin or the problem was resolved. So I’m closing this ticket.
