How to fix a broken sitemap.xml on my website?

Hi,

My default sitemap.xml is broken and is not updating.

How do I go about fixing this?

Hi, @bijoux1 .

Sophia here from Shopify. Welcome to the Shopify Community!

I am viewing the sitemap from Google Chrome 87, and it appears as expected. Are you in the process of verifying your site with Google? Let me know what seems to be broken and if you’re able to view the sitemap from a different browser or device to see if it changes.

https://bijouxfengshui.com/sitemap_products_1.xml?from=5502603624608&to=5509233442976

https://bijouxfengshui.com/sitemap_pages_1.xml

https://bijouxfengshui.com/sitemap_collections_1.xml

https://bijouxfengshui.com/sitemap_blogs_1.xml

This is what I see. None of these are my actual page and none of my pages are in there.

When I view these sitemap links in Google Chrome, the pages and products listed correspond with what I see on bijouxfengshui.com. If you’re noticing that any pages or products are missing from the sitemap links, please specify which content is missing. It’s important to note that unpublished pages and products won’t appear on the sitemap, but everything that’s published as visible under Products > All Products, Products > Collections, Online Store > Blog posts, and Online Store > Pages in your admin should be included in these sitemap links. Content that is hidden won’t be listed on the sitemap.

Can you tell me what you’re trying to accomplish with these sitemap links? Are you verifying your website with Google? More context on what’s missing and what you need to do will be helpful in guiding you through next steps.

Hi @Sophia

I didn’t want to unnecessarily open a new thread but I’m experiencing the same/similar issue.

Our sitemap is https://goodgroceries.com.au/sitemap_products_1.xml?from=6576054960325&to=7024159588549

Search Console is reporting 200 pages “Indexed, not submitted in sitemap”. An example is:

https://goodgroceries.com.au/collections/beauty/products/garnier-skinactive-micellar-cleansing-water-all-in-1-700ml

I can see it’s not in https://goodgroceries.com.au/sitemap_products_1.xml?from=6576054960325&to=7024159588549 but the product is published and I cannot see any other issue with it.

Any thoughts?

Hi, @phil_at_gg .

Have you already submitted the sitemap.xml for your store by following these steps? This is the only sitemap we recommend submitting, because any others could result in Google not crawling your store correctly.
