Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 27, 20231 yr Our sitemap is missing quite a few links. We're trying to switch it back to "use recommended settings" to see if that fixes it but it's saying the URL is invalid, even though I have verified that the file exists and has 0644 permissions. We're on the latest version of IPS too.
December 27, 20231 yr Community Expert Your community has quite a few issues going on right now. It has an invalid SSL certificate. The URL you included there has www, whereas your community does not use www. Looks like you're using a CDN on your community and it is not allowing things to load for me due to a CORs policy you're setting. Items 1 and 2 may really be causing the issue here as the software isn't detecting the right/valid URL or may not entirely be able to get to it.

This was occurring because I was changing some settings to troubleshoot. I changed them back. 2. I tried both with and without Unfortunately even without the SSL errors I get the same error with/without www.

December 27, 20231 yr Community Expert I am getting error too many redirects from your server, you will want to check your server configuration and remove any custom redirects or rewrites.

December 28, 20231 yr Author Just tried uploading all original files again -- unfortunately the issue persists.

Everything seems fine from an access point of view. Please note that you are also using CloudFlare with DDoS protection on so that may be stopping your server from seeing the page exists.

Please note that you are also using CloudFlare with DDoS protection on so that may be stopping your server from seeing the page exists. I tried again (now after re-uploading all files) completely disabling Cloudflare and switching back to Apache instead of Litespeed and the issue is persisting. I've also checked the System Error Logs and Error Logs and I'm not seeing anything that seems to be related. I am not sure what else to try. Is there a way to escalate this? I don't mind sharing my community login info or FTP info.

It is the site in my client area with "-" in the domain name. Thank you very much. Edit: Erm.. it doesn't seem to be erroring anymore, but the sitemap seems to be incomplete. Our pages (especially download page) should appear in the site map but do not seem to be. Could just take a quick look at it? Thanks. Edited December 28, 20231 yr by H5K
