| Sep 21, 2022 at 17:04 | comment | added | AlanP | The google search console gives an indexing error for wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and then the site owner what this error fixed. There is no fix unless the URL is blocked. | |
| Mar 17, 2022 at 3:19 | comment | added | Mark Kaplun | @PJBrunet all kinds of plugins can edit he file (it is not a file actually, it is auto generated at each request to the URL). A good plugin will not change the link to the sitemap. Not recomending a plugin because I write my own code to modify things when needed so have no idea which would be a good plugin | |
| Mar 16, 2022 at 20:15 | comment | added | Jay Brunet | @birgire I think that last ticket is the best answer. It shows this decision was made without much thought, and other people questioned the wisdom of this decision (not just me) and this admin-ajax thing was a knee-jerk reaction to some Google Webmaster Tools email blast that went out by mistake, due to themes linking to admin files. In my opinion, robots.txt should be the responsibility of the system admin. Maybe I can "touch robots.txt" but will that break wp-sitemap.xml? LOL | |
| Mar 16, 2022 at 19:45 | comment | added | Jay Brunet | @MarkKaplun Thanks, I take my job seriously. Since I started investigating this, it seems Google is partly responsible for adding this new "sitemap:" line, because I think they coded the new wp-sitemap.xml, which is kind of a big deal in my opinion. That new sitemap code is impressive (though a little buggy) I had no idea it was there. That said, I am currently taking some medication for a minor health issue, yes I was cranky and went back to tone it down a little. However, I am justified as a WordPress hosting system admin and web developer to care about WordPress config, SEO, sitemaps, etc. | |
| Mar 16, 2022 at 3:33 | comment | added | Mark Kaplun | upvoting the question to get it to a zero score, but next time you should probably drink some water first to make sure you relaxed enough and your question will not end sounding like a rant ;). | |
