Hello!

Have you done a video on attaching a blog to the Yoast Sitemap and what the colors from Toast represent?

Thanks!

Hi, Thank you for this video. It helped me to understand sitemaps.

How do I remove url's that are still showing in Google search console - do you have a video on how to permanently remove those. They do not exist as I was learning and changing as we go on the pages and posts.

Do you know how to generate an image sitemap with Yoast and integrate it with GSC?

[mashalkhan]

Hey do you have to do it over and over again each time you add any page or post on your blog?

[MarcP]

I see when you generated the site map there was a list of 3 or 4. How do you know which one to use?

Why are the video and image sitemap settings not available in Yoast SEO?

[MeesRodewald]

Thank you very mutch for explaning everything! I do have a question tho. I was wondering why the status of my sitemap says: Couldn't Fetch? Is it because my pages aren't indexed yet?
