So is there any criteria for a post to be eligible to stay in sitemap?; because I was not able to see all of my posts in the sitemap.

Anyways something is always better than nothing, but just curious to know about it; as sitemap submission is one of the essential step for SEO.

Good question. @ben do we need to do a manual sitemap submission per month?

I have the same issue that the sitemap wasnt updating, so i need to do it manually with

./rake sitemap:create

Offcourse the best solution is to have this automated, not sure if this already part of Forem and could be an issue with our setup.

I didn’t read Ben’s post on this properly. All the monthly sitemaps are automated (i think) and then you manually submit then like this:

So you should add sitemap-Feb-2021.xml and sitemap-Mar-2021.xml and so-forth to your search console.

Yup that's right.
