Helpdesk is open from Monday through Friday CET
to avoid duplicated and sitemap of dynamic pages,i put those rules for sitemap
exclusions :
/fr/{*}
/en/{*}
/{?}{*}
/{*}{?}{*}
/?own={*}
inclusions :
/categories/{*}
i asked to generate again a new sitemap
but still pages are listed against those rules

Hi
Yes, you need to "Reset analysis" and re-run it for the new rules to be taken into account. The sitemap "Rebuild Now" will only clear the cache in case it's damaged.
Please note:
- /?own={*} is not needed as you already excluded any page that starts with /? with the previous rule, /{?}{*}
- with /fr/{*} and /en/{*}, aren't you going to just exclude (almost) all the pages on your site?

I did try to restart analysis.
when i lauch it it says directly now that analysis is finished without crawling nothing
that is why i tried sitemap rebuild

sure i was not 100% sure about your syntax so i put it in double
- with /fr/{*} and /en/{*}, aren't you going to just exclude (almost) all the pages on your site?
/fr/* and /en/* are duplicates of /categories/fr/* and /categories/en/* with a different UI ( folders only or folders + tree)
Hi

This would indicate either:
- you have excluded (from analysis) all the links from your home page
- you are going too fast in the crawling and your server cannot respond.
The screenshots are not really useful, what would matter more are the exclusions rules for both analysis and sitemaps.
Also I checked your robots.txt and there are some odds things there:
- some images rules were inserted inside of the 4SEO sitemap automatic listing
- the automated sitemap rule is outdated, it still has /index.php/ at the start.
I'd suggest manually removing the images section that was added manually (use the robots.txt editor in 4SEO) and then also remove the /index.php/ bit at the start of that line so that it reads:
Allow: /sitemap-4seo

i changed the robots.txt
i give you the complete view of the rules
Hi
The rules you created are not for the sitemap. You added them to the pages analysis configuration.
And so this rule /{*}{?}{*} excludes all the pages on your site from analysis, which is why the analysis ends immediately.
I'd suggest:
1 - Delete all the rules your created. You made them complex but they really don't need to be.
2 - Go to to the Sitemaps page, open the Settings and in Included content, enter your exclusion rules, for your sitemap:
Note that the specification I entered is different from what you did: you used {?} to specify a ? but {?} actually means "any single character" and not "the ? character". So you were excluding everything.
