Is this only for WordPress? Also when submitting a sitemap. Is it just your website URL, or does it have to be each page within the website that has to be submitted?

Yep, it's for WordPress. And when submitting, you only have to do it for your primary domain. :)

Hi, Thank you for this video. It helped me to understand sitemaps. How do I remove url's that are still showing in Google search console - do you have a video on how to permanently remove those. They do not exist as I was learning and changing as we go on the pages and posts.

Hi! Thanks for watching! I would set up 301 redirects for those old URLs. That way when Google crawls them, they will see the 301 and will strike it from search. :)

Hello, thank you so much for this video, its really helpful and so as your other videos but before I started using yoast, I was used rank math to submit my sitemap but it's saying "couldn't fetch" now same thing with yoast. As a new blogger, I'm fed up already, I'd really appreciate if you can help.

Why are the video and image sitemap settings not available in Yoast SEO?

Hey! Great question. I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to do some digging and get back to you.
I see when you generated the site map there was a list of 3 or 4. How do you know which one to use?

Hi! Thanks for watching! Hmmmmm it could be because you have a large site with a lot of items. You can add them all to your GSC account. You can submit up to 500 sitemap index files for each site in your Search Console account. Hope that helps and thanks again!
I can't find robots.txt settings after update. Can you tell me where this setting is now?

Hi! Thanks for watching! Sorry you're dealing with that. There could be a lot of things causing the issue. I've heard that if you submit your sitemap url with http rather than https that it helps. Not sure why, but I've heard that that works sometimes. Try that and let me know. Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for watching! There could be multiple things causing this issue. I would first try flushing your permalink settings. All you'll do is go to Settings>Permalinks and then resave your settings. This article does a good job at listing out some other ways to troubleshoot. rankmath.com/kb/incorrect-http-header-content-type-sitemap-error/ Give it a read and let me know if that helps.
