Google Search Console - I am totally confused

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Everything seemed to be working fine with Google Analytics, Search Console, et al until the last week. However, on December 1, when I logged in to Search Console, it welcomed me as a rank newcomer.

There was no trace of my websites, whatsoever. I was prompted to add my websites to the search console, submit my sitemaps, etc. etc. - all the steps that I had gone through and completed more than a month ago.

Now I do not understand what happened to the indexing that Google had done for my websites earlier? Now the search console tells me that for my website, 16 pages have been submitted and 4 have been indexed....Only 4??? What happens to the balance 12 or at least 10 more if we leave the About Me and Privacy Policy out.

Please educate me on this aspect, someone!!
