Ok I have a wordpress site called TheGatorChomp.com, and I use the XML sitemap generator plugin for my google sitemap, I uploaded the sitemap.xml to google, ok heres my problem. For the past month I have been editing my website added and removing pages, and everytime I do this I go to my sitemap setting, and hit rebuild sitemap so everything it updated. Problem is google is not getting these updates or something, because the pages I deleted are still in my sitemap on google, here are some possible fixes I have already done. Delete sitemap from google, upload it again, Didnt work Rebuild sitemap through wordpress plugin, Didnt work Submit the sitemap again, didnt work What it is saying right now in my webmaster tools is that I have 1 error for urls in sitemap which is http://www.thegatorchomp.com/home which has been deleted. And another 21 not found pages which have all been deleted, and I updated the sitemap when I did this. So I have no idea what else to do I am stuck If anyone knows what to do please help me I have no idea. Thanks David
Are you still having an issue. It sounds like you were expecting instant results in google webmaster tools, when it doesn't work like that. It will take them time to update even after you just submitted it. Look now, do you still see your old sitemap?
when i view http://www.thegatorchomp.com/sitemap.xml i see this message The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Access is denied.
