Google Not Indexing Discourse Forum – Sitemap Not Approved

Support
4

Thanks for your suggestions!

  1. I checked /admin/reports/web_crawlers, and Googlebot is on the list, so it is crawling the forum.
  2. The allowed_crawler_user_agents list was empty, so I added:
Googlebot  
bingbot  
DuckDuckBot

I’ve also resubmitted the sitemap in Google Search Console and will monitor if indexing improves over the next few days.
