In this video you’re going to learn how to submit your sitemap to Google Search Console.
Before you do that you’ll need to set it up using your SEO plugin.
Sitemap: Using All In One SEO Plugin
Sitemap: Using Yoast SEO Plugin
If you're using All In One then your sitemap URL will be domain.com/sitemap.xml and if you're using Yoast then your sitemap URL will domain.com/sitemap_index.xml.

I've just discovered that a plugin that I'm using, Sumo, which I use for list building is causing the status in Fetch as Google to be Partial. When I click in the row to be taken to how google and visitors see my site, I see this error at the bottom:
URL: https://sumo.com/api/load/ | TYPE: AJAX | Reason: Error
At the top, I see "Partial" next to the date of the results.
When I remove the plugin, it is changed from "Partial" to "Complete", and there are no errors.
Would this error impact my site indexing? And if so, how may I configure Sumo or my list-builder or any other plugin to not have this error?
Thanks

Ade, also be aware, that unless you're grandfathered in to the free version, once you exceed 1000 visits a month or so, SumoMe will charge you $360 + taxes per annum for the next 4000 monthly visits.

If you don't pay up, it stops working.
Also, Noah, the owner, admitted in a webinar that I attended that free users go to the end of their server queue for requests, which can seriously impact your load times on occasion, and speed is a ranking metric.

There are many other plugins you could use apart from Sumo. Check out Contact Form 7 which is very popular.

I followed the link and it leads to a banner (see image). Go back to the company you got the link from and they should be able to help.

Thanks for your quick response. It didn't give me any info on the company page, but I just put a new banner up. Could some banners just have bugs in them and we should just get new ones? I also noticed I put this in a widget under "visual" vs "text" maybe that did something. When it says "blocked" does that mean this post won't be indexed? sorry for all the questions!

Code always goes in Text. So use the Text tabs in your post editor and the text widgets instead of the Visual tabs.
It would be the image that's blocked not the whole post.

I have followed all the instructions that you gave me. AIO is deactivated, Google xml is deactivated. When I went to sitemaps it is showing that I have a sitemap /sitemap.xml which I know is the Google xml sitemap.
Do I go ahead and delete this sitemap before submitting the Yoast sitemap?

I have included a screen shot of the results. I also read on the Yoast website, after posting this question, it instructs you to remove outdated or invalid sitemaps like sitemap.xml

LOL, I think I will rely on Site Support. I don't really think I am ready to mess with the FTP (I don't even know what that is :) )

I can't submit a sitemap because I am still stuck in verifying ownership of my website. I can't upload a html to my homepage or work out how to do any of the other options to verify options.
I can't believe how hard this is and I have been at it since joining WA!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.
