Hi

And what do you mean by "no longer"? was this filled up before?

If so, this would suggest a temporary connectivity issue. I would suggest:

- Use the "Rebuild Now" button so that 4SEO rebuild the files

- Visit your sitemap on the frontend to be sure it's fine

Hi

Could you please provide us with superadmin credentials to your website. You can create a temporary account, and delete it afterward, but it must have superuser level.

Best regards

Hi

Have not seen anything weird in the configuration. Pinging sitemaps can be blocked by the server security rules, althought that's pretty rare. I can suggest the following:

1 - Half of the pages analyzed are for your com_gpstools pages. These do not appear to have any SEO value and I'd definitely suggest to exclude them from the analysis.

2 - You have an "jomres_asa_module" that is giving a PHP fatal error on many pages, that's pretty bad and needs to be fixed or the module unpublished until fixed:

3 - Once the above is done, I would like to Reset the analys while running in debug mode so that more details are recorded about the search engines submission process, why it fails or if it fails at all (it might be simply that the submission time is not recorded).

In any case, Google does pick up your sitemap anyway as it is listed in your robots.txt file as expected, so there's no rush here but still I'd like to understand what's going on.

Best regards
