Try this friend. Go through Google search console through your site dashboard and when you are taken to Google search console, click on sitemaps. You should see your website status as success. If not, you need to re-enter your site URL. You only need to set it up the right way once and it will show you info of your whole website in the Overview. Get back to me on this. All the best!

My site maps all look good on search console, all saying successful

Okay. Here are some ways: Click on URL inspection to get more details about the errors, then click the test Live URL, then try fixing the error and request indexing, and then go back and click on validate index. If that doesn't work, it could mean that your redirect chain is too long. All the best!

Thanks for trying but that doesn’t really help me. I know I need to fix the errors I just don’t know how. I’ve checked the redirect chain and there’s hardly a chain at all.

Are you using a plugin for redirects. If so, deactivate it to see if the problem goes away.

No not using a redirect plugin

Have you added or updated a plugin in the last few days?

Not than I’m aware of. I tend to keep everything updated as much as I can.

In your Dashboard, scroll down through the different items and subitems to see if one is titled "Redirects".

I can see a redirect link but that’s only available for AIOSEO pro version which I don’t have. Can’t see any other redirect menus.

Have you ever tried Yoast SEO? I use it for all three of my sites. I like it better than AIOSEO.

Did you notice the problem after adding or updating a plugin. Sometimes a new or updated plugin causes problems.

I didn't experience this issue so I have no idea how to fix it.

However, I don't even submit links to the Search Console directly. I have submitted my SiteMap a long time ago, which helps Google to index my posts fast without me having to manually submit each new post. All my posts get indexed quite fast.

I hope some other member could help you more with the exact issue that you're facing. Best of luck!

Ah ok thanks, I thought submitting the url was helpful but just seems to be more annoying than anything else.

It should be helping to get you posts indexed faster. But I didn’t notice any difference… either way, they will get indexed.

Maybe you can give your URLs to Site support to check them out!

Ivan, I have 5 sitemaps which one should I use?
Actually going to PM you with the screen shot

I would suggest sending the screenshot to Site Support and asking them for the instructions :)

Hey all,
So Search Console is irritating. I have gone through the errors which google says I have, tested the URLs they seem fine, they work at least anyway. So how do you

It may also be possible that you have altered a URL after publshing and linking to that page. Often a Site Check will give you 'Anchors' to these Pages that need a redirect.
I've actually been having the same issue lately.
For 4XX Errors you can try clicking on 'Anchors' and go to the pages that link to this page and double check the URLs match.
For 3XX Errors, I've been using the Redirection Plugin

Aha! Moment yep didn’t think of that thank you

You must have moved one of your sites or some pages to another site.
Since you could not find your answers , you can expand your search in browser search.

Hi guys,
Got a bit of a problem on Wordpress. I added a photo to my post but now there is a big GAP between the photo and text. But on WP editor there is no gap. But if a

Hi everyone. I am at lesson 9. I just want to make sure. Is it possible to come make changes with my keywords on a later stage?

you can go back and rewrite your posts
the only thing to keep the same is the url...everything else can be updated...

Hi

Yes, absolutely.

You can edit all except changing the URL, if the url changes to Google it is a new post.

All sorted now, thanks Ivan.

Awesome :)

That's great, and good to hear.

I had a bit of a d’oh! Moment. I just happened to switch to text and noticed the spaces in the code. It basically sorted itself and out.

My top advice is to show you the issue to SiteSupport.

Here's a quick step-by-step:

Take a screenshot or two (https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-take-screenshots) of the issue, open a new ticket with SiteSupport, explain the problem and attach screenshots. Wait for the response and follow the instructions.

As a Premium member, you have unlimited access to SiteSupport. These guys are PROFESSIONALS who know everything there is to know about web technology, WordPress, etc.

Don't neglect this awesome feature!

have a look in the text editor part of your editor ...where the code is for any stray bits of code....but i suspect it is to do with your theme...
one way to get around it ...but it will affect all images the same is to use site origin css plugin to 'adjust' graphically hte theme bits t oget it how you like it...
good luck sorting it
phil

exactly what it was. The text editor had extra spacing code. All sorted thanks.

brilliant...
glad you are sorted

Hey everyone, quick question. I just wanted to know which cookie consent plugin you use? The one I’m using which I forget the name of is installed and active but doesn&rs

Fantastic thank you, I’ll update my site, I’d been away for a while didn’t realise so much had changed.

Cookie notice -- when you hit 'add new' and put in 'cookie notice' it will be the one with the image.

Cookie Notice for GDPR & CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

I went with what Marion Black and others were using plus, there was another update a few months ago I wasn't aware of.

It went into effect in January.

Some more details here :)

Awesome thank you, you mentioned California but I’m assuming it would cover globally? I’m in the uk so guidelines could be different.

But obviously being online and targeting audiences in multiple countries makes me unsure as to which guidelines we follow.

The one above covers it all General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU and the new one for California specifically, I know it's a lot of legal jargon but, just glad this one stays current and covers it all!

Great thanks for clearing that up much appreciated

Hey everyone, Not sure how to ask this question clearly so bare with me.

I have created a top menu with pages but one has a drop down menu. the page is "Keyword research

Hi Andrew. Here's training that Kyle did that you can reference for menu issues. Just in case you need any additional resources.

Wow - love finding wiestions like this - was on my to do list but never got around to working out how to do it..

thanks Andrew for raising and Dale for answering.

Paul

I’m glad the question and answer helped someone else to. Just shows the power of asking for help.

Just change the "Keyword Research" link to a "custom link" and set it the destination of the link to just "#" (without the quotes)

Awesome thanks Dale. Problem solved! That really helped me appreciate it.

You're welcome :)
