Weebly autogenerated sitemap is empty

sben — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 09:48:26 GMT

Hi,

When I type http://www.mydomainename.com/sitemap.xml on a browser, I only get a blanc page with nothing but a message that says "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

I don't think the issue is in the message but I don't understand why my site map is empty.

When I try generating a site map using an other online tool it does generate a sitemap.xml with actual content.

Can you help me figure out why weebly can't générate a proper sitemap?

I need this site map to get indexed by Google.

Thank you !

Hi @sben, thanks for your post and welcome to the Seller Community.

SEO consultation is not offered here in the Community, however, there are some steps to set. up a sitemap within Square Online that is listed here.

When you have a moment, I'd suggest making sure that your settings match what is listed in the article.

Hello @Breffni,

Thank you for your answer.

The thing is that I am not asking for SEO but I am reporting a bug.

I am just trying to understand why something that should be generated automatically by weebly is not working.

Normally I shouldn't have to set up a sitemap and even if I wanted to do so manually weebly does not allow any user interaction with the sitemap.

The step by step guide you gave me shows how to reference a website in search engin which my final purpose but not the subject of my post.

Regards
