Hi there,
I have the free version of route66 instelled on a J 3.10.10
Uploaded the url to Google, who came back with an error (cant read sitemap, HTTP fault 403)
I uploaded /en/component/route66/sitemapindex/1?format=xml
According to a post here, I checked the actual sitemap with the following url:
https://www.authenticbotswanatours.com/en/component/route66/sitemap/1/content.xml?format=xml
Result:
<urlset> </urlset>
Whats wrong?
Thnks and regards from Germany
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

You need to submit the sitemap index URL. This is the URL that Route 66 provides in the "preview" column in administration area.
For example I discovered two sitemaps in your site:

https://www.authenticbotswanatours.com/en/component/route66/sitemapindex/2?format=xml
https://www.authenticbotswanatours.com/en/component/route66/sitemapindex/1?format=xml

Just keep one of them and edit it to include the desired menu items and articles. After that submit it to Google search console. It knows how to handle it.

Hi Matthias,

Can you please share the exact URL you submitted?
If it’s working in our browsers but Google can’t read it then this might indicates that your server is blocking access to Google bot.

Do you use any special access rules in your web server setup?

Regards
