johntasch Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Site URL: http://www.delawareconsolerepair.com I have been using Squarespace for about 8 years now for my companies website. About 10 days ago I created a new site for another business I have started. I am 10 days in and my site map has yet to generate. It says {"message":"Sitemap not yet generated. It will be generated within the next 24 hours."} I have reached out to customer support twice now and keep telling me the sitemap will generate within 24 hours yet it’s had this message since day one. They even pushed for a manual refresh of the set map on Monday. It is still not generated. Without the sitemap generated I cannot submit my website to Google for indexing. Please someone help! http://www.delawareconsolerepair.com is my domain Link to comment

I see the same issue on a number of Squarespace sites where the sitemap is now out of date. We'd love to help, but there's nothing the community can do to resolve this for you. Sitemaps are usually generated within 24 hours of a site going live. When this doesn't happen, it's usually because of a Squarespace fault, so you've done the right thing by contacting Squarespace Customer Care. If it has been 24 hours since you requested the sitemap refresh then I recommend you contact them again, although I appreciate they will have reduced cover over the next few days.

I dont understand why they would give me the run around thus far if there was something they can do to fix it? They just keep telling me to wait. Link to comment

ChristineDarby Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 It is a Squarespace bug. Support is aware of the issue. ★ Official Squarespace Specialist since 2014 ★ SEO Consulting and Training ★ Link to comment
johntasch Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Still no resolution. Just a whole lot of generic emails and vague timelines. This is very disappointing. Link to comment
