Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.” * But it alos says : “Network unreachable: Network unreachable” * As you I can reach those sitemaps in my browser BUT I can’t see them in my FTPserver. I think this is why there are not reachable.. but then, how can we see them in our browsers ? Strange no ? * EDIT : Maybe the unreachable error is due to this : “Other than most other XML sitemap plugins, this plugin doesn’t generate a static file, which is a very intensive process, especially for large sites” * I submitted my xml file directly using the url : [http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap_index.xml](http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap_index.xml) * Thread Starter [investazor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/investazor/) * (@investazor) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513099) * i dont use other sitemap plugins and never had, just the one provided by the plugin. * [ME](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-eddy/) * (@mr-eddy) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513104) * I submitted it again and it worked properly this time. * This is with WordPress SEO 1.3.4.4 on WordPress 3.5.1 * Thread Starter [investazor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/investazor/) * (@investazor) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513105) * i use the same version, done with the resubmit but the error remains…this is disturbing * [ME](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-eddy/) * (@mr-eddy) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513112) * In fact, I have to add that my sitemap is only submitted. The “indexed” column is still empty. I manage another website (significantly smaller) which was indexed nearly immediately. So I am still looking forward to be sure it’s working. * Is you sitemap “heavy” ? Before resubmitting mine, I recreated the xml file first. * EDIT : Error is back.. still not working. * [ME](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-eddy/) * (@mr-eddy) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513167) * I am trying this again, and after a LONG time (few hours) I got again this error. This time I am waiting to see if it finally manages to index it too. * But still, would be happy to have any kind of help with this major bug. * [ME](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-eddy/) * (@mr-eddy) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513175) * investazor > Are you still having this bug ? * Thread Starter [investazor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/investazor/) * (@investazor) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513176) * yep..i did a resubmit..not i have just warnings for images. then network things looks to be be gone Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Webmaster Tools Errors’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3419908) * [Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/reviews/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [investazor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/investazor/) * Last activity: [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-webmaster-tools-errors-1/#post-3513176) * Status: not resolved
