Hi there.
I currently migrating a site to a new domain.
As per Google guidelines:
- I have set up all the various GSC properties and verified them.
- I have also set up all the 301 redirects
- Completed the change of address request in GSC
- I have created two sitemaps: URLs from the old site and the URLs on the new site and uploaded them both to the root of the new site
However, when I try to submit the sitemaps to GSC, only the old sitemap is accepted. I am receiving a warning that all URLs in the new sitemap are blocked in the robots.txt file. I have checked them in Screaming Frog and in the Robot.txt tester in GSC and they are definitely not being blocked to Google.
Sitemaps:
https://www.moatrek.com/sitemap.xml - does not work
https://www.moatrek.com/legacysitemap.xml - does work
I have also created two other sitemaps:
https://www.moatrek.com/imagesitemap.xml - straightforward image sitemap (does not work either)
https://www.moatrek.com/migrationsitemap.xml - a manual XML file that I created in SFrog which is a copy of the Drupal generated sitemap.xml (does not work)
Any ideas? I wouldn`t usually be quite so bothered but this is a domain change so I want to tick all the boxes.
Thanks in advance.
Laurie
