Hello,

I am using JSiteMapPro under Joomla 2.5.28 (soon, I am going to migrate to Joomla 3.6).
I have a multilanguage site (English and French).

I have a strange behavior with Bing Web Master. It works with Google Web Master.
After submitting my two sitemaps, I have not URL submitted with Bing: 0 URLS submitted.
Here are the two links I submit: http://www.guillenphoto.com/cms/sitemap/xml (for the French sitemap) http://www.guillenphoto.com/cms/en/sitemap/xml?lang=en (for the English sitemap).

Would you help me?
Thanks
Regards

Hello,

i checked your current website but the sitemaps are ok, so it's not a problem related to the sitemap component itself.
Rather it looks a problem of redirections and because Bing it's not so smart as Google it may have issue.
I think that you have installed sh404sef and that could a problem for Bing when accessing the website.

I recommend to try it again AFTER your migration to Joomla 3.6 with all extensions updated.
However you can try a few things:

1. Configure sh404sef properly for JSitemap as reported in the PDF docs attached
2. Submit raw sitemap links such as: http://www.guillenphoto.com/cms/index.php?option=com_jmap&view=sitemap&format=xml&xslt=1&lang=en and http://www.guillenphoto.com/cms/index.php?option=com_jmap&view=sitemap&format=xml&xslt=1&lang=fr
3. Ensure that the Bing Bot is not blocked by other plugins or server (contact the hosting provider)
4. Disable the page cache plugin. As of now i see it active and XML headers are lost in such case. Not sure if that could be a problem for Bing.
5. Ensure that sh404sef has not anti-flood or other security features enabled

Hope this helps.
Regards

Thank you very much for your help.

I am almost done. Now it works with Bing Webmaster Tools. That is perfect.
The only question left is how to create an SEF alias in SH404SEF for this link. In my website I have a menu pointed the the site map. The alias of the menu is sitemap. I do not understand how to create the alias.

Thanks for your help

Very good.

Personally i don't use sh404sef, but i know that it's capable to create aliases. Eventually you can ask to sh404sef developers.

By the way you could try to change the sh404sef setting 'Leave as non-sef' to 'Use Joomla Router' for JMap. That will use the normal Joomla menu alias.

Best regards

Thank you,

I am going to contact SH404SEF to get the answer.
Thanks for your help
You can close the ticket.
