Crying
Am so disappointed ☹️ I started crying because of what I discovered this evening
I know that am only here at wealthy affiliate little less then 6 months, but my first 5 post was indexed my google ok I was over the moon with joy, so it was sweet so I stay up late sometimes 3am am still laying on my back trying to work on my site I was super excited happy as I can be
In that same week my dad passed so I don’t do much here for awhile,to cut this story
So am back writing ✍️ and feeling happy am here again still getting indexed by google
So I see people putting out how much things that had been indexed by google so I said let me check what’s going on with mine low and behold I went on my website and check almost everything that was indexed gone not found
Can someone please let me know what has happened please

Hey Sophia, So sorry for your loss. My parents are both gone now and loss is never easy to deal with. I will be praying for you.
In regards to your website. go into Google search console. in admin and verify that your sitemap is entered correctly. Scroll over to the middle section and click source. I found one of my site maps entered wrong and was not getting anything and had to correct the sitemap. make sure it is listed like this example:
https://yourwebsite.com Sometimes they drop the s at http and sometimes they drop the .com off
I hope that helps.
You that I I see that I put https and http so I will go get it fixed thanks appreciate
Thanks for the kind words

the little things aren't that hard , just frustrating to deal with. The good thing is you quickly reached out for help. You did not sit out stuck in the weeds like many before you.Stubbornness makes no sense at all. Keep moving forward and learn something new each day.
I recommend you go and learn google analytics. I completed a training course from them for beginners. They gave me a certificate and WA has yet to add it to my accomplishments. It really helped me learn a lot about how they work and what can be done with there software. I have to go back and complete the advanced training soon. That is one reason I was able to help you.
Thanks I will jump at it as soon as possible and let me tell you something am going to learn this thing even if it takes me 5 years lol thanks for your help appreciate it thanks a million times and more

I am so sorry Sophia. I lost my Dad and it was very hard so I know how you feel. I know you feel sad but also want to make this work so it is discouraging if it feels like it isn't.
Are you sure your posts are just ranked lower now rather than your whole site not being indexed anymore? It is common for new posts to fall in rank after they are added. Eventually they will raise back up. I hope that is the case for yours.

I will see what is wrong but am more than ever going to work on my website more
Thanks for sharing

Hi Janet,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. My deepest sympathies.
Google seems to be making a lot of changes that are effecting us. I think your best bet would be submit a ticket to site support.
You will be in my prayers tonight Janet,
Blessings,
Michael
Our deepest sympathy to you at this time! We just had a dear cousin pass away a few days ago. We were with him a few days before!
As others have said: !-Search console may help, or 2- Site Support may also be able to help!
Best wishes!

Hi Sophia,
I am sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this very difficult time. In time, you will be able to smile and remember the fun memories of him. I know what it is to lose your dad. Keep the faith!
I am not sure what's going on with your website as some said check support to see if you can get an answer for what has happened. Much success to you!
Kind regards,
Nichola

I understand what you are going through Janet. Over the last year or so My family and I have suffered a some terrible tragedies. Keep your chin up my friend. Everyone here has suffered some level of pain in their lives. Whatever you do don't give up.
I have spent months away from this platform but I always intended to come back.
I know it's difficult but be strong and move forward, even if it's only tiny steps.
As for the indexing. Google has made several changes and it has affected some sites more then others.
There are several blogs fellow members have added around this issue. Maybe put the question up in your search bar at the top of the profile page. It may bring these blogs up.
All the best. Jim
Oh okay that’s true I believe that I remember it say that there will be change in google and we now has to do 1000 words or more and some people ranking will drop look like all of mine drop
Thanks much appreciate
Janet
My deepest condolences for the passing of your dad. You are on my prayers.
This is SEO issue.
Do you have Google Search Console installed?
This is where you can see what happened to your pages. All errors are shown in the console for you to fix and resubmit for indexing.
Thanks much
Yes I have it I will just rewrite and update and keep on going
Thanks appreciate
Janet
Hi, Sophia
Sorry for your troubles and hardships. Bless your family and your fathers memory. Wishing you heal with great strength.
Glad you are back here with excitement.
As for your website issue...
I would contact site support.
Click the purple ? icon where it says "Help Center"
Click top left circle icon where it says "Site Support"
Answer the questions.. YES it is an issue with your website
... Topic is Website Missing... then fill in the box with the issue you are having in detail.
They will PM you with a response rather quickly.
Hi Sophia, first, I'm sorry for the loss of your dad. That's a life experience that makes everything seem un-focused for a while. I commend you for getting back to your writing and your site.
When you say everything is lost and not found do you mean your post are literally gone from your site or they are not ranking within Google, Bing or Yahoo anymore?
They are not ranking anymore is that possible even the ones that just get ranks not even two weeks
Unfortunately yes, it has happened to me as well. You can go into the posts and update them some, write some more content and request indexing again.
And, keep adding content to your site. Everything will be ok. Just keep pushing forward. You can do it!

Hi Sophia, sorry to read about your dad passing. I have lost both my parents and I keep them alive with the memories. I am praying for healing for you and will keep you in my thoughts.
I had this happen to me about 6 months ago with one or two of my posts. Google didn't see it and told me it didn't exist...it was a simple problem to fix, just by resubmitting my sitemap as BElliot56 recommended.
I hope you get it fixed and I wish you the best!
