Why xml generator is not detecting all my urls?

[Ideas-Money-Art]

Hi Mozzers,

After adding 3 new pages to example.com, when generating the xml sitemap,  Iwasn't able to locate those 3 new url. This is the first time it is happening. I have checked the meta tags of these pages and they are fine. No meta robots setup!

Any thoughts or idea why this is happening? how to fix this?

Thanks!

Thank you Guys!

I resolved the issue! I think it was a caching issue!

Like Matt says, could it be that there is a robots.txt file that could block these URLs? Could it be that your XML sitemap generator is using cached results for your site. Can the pages be found on the page via links on other pages?

Are they linked to a page that the crawler can find?

What are you generating it with?  Online tools like xml-sitemaps.com act like a spider - if they can't crawl from the homepage to the new page, they simply won't find it.

Internal tools, like a Wordpress plugin, should actually find those orphan pages.
