Greetings!

I have installed sitemapxml v.4.0.1 and am getting this error in my log:
#1 fopen() called at [/includes/classes/sitemapxml.php:781]
#2 zen_SiteMapXML->_fileOpen() called at [/includes/classes/sitemapxml.php:184]
#3 zen_SiteMapXML->SitemapOpen() called at [/includes/classes/sitemapxml.php:354]

--> PHP Warning: fopen(/https://www.cedargroveherbs.com/sitemap.xml.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/classes/sitemapxml.php on line 781.

and also, for some reason in my sitemap xml under TOOLS it says this regarding my robots.txt:

Your site's robots.txt file does not point search engines to your Sitemap XML file. Consider adding Sitemap: https://www.cedargroveherbs.com/https://www.cedargroveherbs.com/sitemap.xml.xml to your robots.txt file.

why does it say that? in my robots txt I say:

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /nogooglebot/

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://www.cedargroveherbs.com/sitemap.xml

It 'sounds like' you've set the SitemapXML's SitemapXML Index file name setting to sitemap.xml instead of the default sitemap.

That's not fixing the problem. I've emailed the developer of my theme and asked for assistance. They've been great at fixing my other issues so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you!

OK, let me know what they find.

I have downloaded this plug in and its saying its missing robot.txt file.

That file is not part of the plug in. Zen Cart comes with a robots_example.txt, but you'll need to create a robots.txt file

And, don't forget to add

Sitemap: https://YOUR_SITE.com/sitemap.xml

And, don't forget to add

Sitemap: https://YOUR_SITE.com/sitemap.xml

I do have another question. How can I also make Yahoo! and Bing crawl on my website?

And when I submit my site to the search engines do I submit it as https://your_site.com or https://your_site.com/sitemap.xml?

Wade

Bing has a webmaster tools (https://www.bing.com/webmasters/about) where you can submit your site map. Bing powers the Yahoo results so no need to submit to them.

I know, what I am asking what url should I submit?

https://your_site.com or https://your_site.com/sitemap.xml

https://your_site.com or https://your_site.com/sitemap.xml

You're asking which url to submit for your site map. :-)

https://your_site.com is your home page
https://your_site.com/sitemap.xml is your site map

can I use:

https://your_site.com/index.php?main_page=site_map

To submit to the search engines?

wmorris:

can I use:

https://your_site.com/index.php?main_page=site_map

No, like @jeking indicated above, use the following link to submit to search engines

https://your_site.com/sitemap.xml

Ok, after I submitted my sitemap to google. I get this message today:

Discovered - currently not indexed
These pages aren't indexed or served on Google

Does anyone know what this mean?

Google knows - https://www.google.com/search?q=Discovered+-+currently+not+indexed

Do you have a Search Console account? That might give some clues.
