Hi,
I am trying to submit my sitemap in Google Search Console using the URL provided in Extensions > Feeds > Google Sitemap with no success. The result (status) I get from Google is "Couldn't fetch".
My OpenCart version is 3.0.3.1
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!
Does the sitemap take a long time to load? Sometimes it needs to be cached.
This free extension should do it: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=39568

What is the URL?
And is there any more info from Google on the problem if you click the couldn't fetch message?

If am not mistaken new google search console doesn't accept the url from extension. The sitemap must be ending with .xml and it would accept.paulfeakins wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 6:51 pmWhat is the URL?

Use this one "sitemap.xml" after enabling the sitemap from opencart extension. like this "https://oraprints.com/sitemap.xml"
the sitemap will be added to the search console successfully.
the sitemap will be added to the search console successfully.

You should make a cron to do this nightly, it would be something like:
Code: Select all
wget -O {full file path to your web root}sitemap.xml {URL of your OpenCart sitemap}

Does it work with 3.0.3.9?This free extension should do it: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=39568
Well, that isn't listed on the page so your options are to try it and find out or to ask the extension developer.Jaap wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 3:20 amDoes it work with 3.0.3.9?This free extension should do it: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=39568

You do not need to create a sitemap.xml file, that is what this, in htaccess, is for:Ahmed-E-Shop wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2025 4:02 amI would Like to generate sitemap.xml ( OC 3.0.4.0 )haydent wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 6:37 pmorCode: Select all

If the generation is too slow, you could always cache the output.

Yes, it is clear to me that the problem is not in creating the file itself. According to my understanding from the colleagues' words, it is finding a way to create the file smoothly to speed up the archiving process.nonnedelectari wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2025 9:22 amYou do not need to create a sitemap.xml file, that is what this, in htaccess, is for:Ahmed-E-Shop wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2025 4:02 amI would Like to generate sitemap.xml ( OC 3.0.4.0 )haydent wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 6:37 pmorCode: Select all

Thanksjust submit the sitemap as /sitemap.xml and that htaccess line will translate it to the extension and send out the generated sitemap.Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap [L]

So let me clarify : Can this line :
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap [L] Code: Select all
curl https://domain.com.au/index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap > /home/user/public_html/sitemap.xml In considration this is ( /home/user ) a { Rootname }
Is this a practical result of the serious discussions that took place here ? ( Expert may tell us )
