+ == Frequently Asked Questions ==
43
+
44
+ = How easy is it to setup? =
45
+
46
+ Very easy! Simply install via the wordpress plugin library and activate it.
47
+
48
+ Go to the XML sitemap settings page and if we alert you to any problems with permalinks, etc. follow the simple instructions to fix these.
49
+
50
+ That's it, you're up and running.
51
+
52
+ = Where can I find my sitemap / robots.txt files? =
53
+
54
+ We create these pages dynamically so you will not find them in your control panel / file system.
55
+
56
+ Go to the XML sitemap settings page and on the right hand side you will see a list of links to the various pages we produce.
57
+
58
+ = Why do I get a blank page or 404 error? =
59
+
60
+ This usually happens when your permalinks are not set up correctly.
61
+
62
+ We will alert you to this when you go to the XML sitemap settings page.
63
+
64
+ Simply go to the Permalinks settings page and make sure you are NOT using plain links.
65
+
66
+ = Why does google think my sitemap is HTML? =
67
+
68
+ You may have submitted the wrong link. It should be www.yourwebsiteaddress.something/xmlsitemap.xml
69
+
70
+ Another reason this happens is when your permalinks are not set up correctly.
71
+
72
+ We will alert you to this when you go to the XML sitemap settings page.
73
+
74
+ Simply go to the permalinks settings page and make sure you are NOT using plain links.
75
+
76
+ = Why does google say my website / pages are blocked? =
77
+
78
+ This is usually because of a problem with your robots.txt file or Wordpress is adding a noindex nofollow meta tag.
79
+
80
+ This is a problem with your "Search Engine Visibility" on the "Reading settings" page.
81
+
82
+ We will alert you to this when you go to the XML sitemap settings page.
83
+
84
+ Simply go to the Reading Settings page and ensure "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" is NOT ticked.
85
+
86
+ = I'm still having problems what can I do? =
