Site map showing http - but our site is now https.

[jmac11]

Hi

Our site has moved to https, but our sitemap is showing http.  (www.inclusiq.com) 

This is causing a problem with Google Search Console, as the majority of our pages are being 'excluded'. 

With further investigation, the http pages are not being included as they are showing up as duplicate and  Google is selecting the https version of that page as the canonical. 

How do we get the sitemap showing the https versions of the pages?

Much appreciated.

@jmac1 

Have u submitted a new sitemap xml relevant to the https site?

Have u put the new verification code into the header code on Settings 

[jmac11]

Thanks whitemonkey. 

What would the verification code be that I would need to put in the header?

Hi @jmac1 

For the sitemap

U should only need to enter   sitemap.xml

Thats assuming u r logged into Google Search Console on the https   website...

Have u got the google verification code  for the https  version of ur site entered into the header code box on SETTINGS>> SEO

Thanks @whitemonkey 

Yes, the sitemap has been submitted on to the search console already. And yes, we've got the verification stuff from Google in the header. 

My query is....

If it's an https site... should our sitemap from weebly be showing the pages as https? (it's currently showing all pages as http. 
Is there something I should have done, that I've not done?

My worry is.... 

I have submitted http and https sitemaps, but for both are showing the same thing...

Every page (apart from 3) on our website is coming up as "Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical"

And the 'google-selected canonical' - is the https version of each page. 

Your help has been great so far. Anything else that I should be doing?

Hi   @jmac1 

 forget anything with http

Ur site is an https  site

U can switch  between ur sites associated  with ur log in details.   See:

I cant remember what desktop google search console looks like   but on mobile   it looks as above.  Click the 3 lines   top left  then the downward arrow    thatll bring up all ur sites     . Then select https one

If not,  run thru the google verification process again with the https   (deleting the http site at the same time)

Good luck..

All the ERRORS on google take a while to dissappear

Hi,

Both your robots.txt and sitemap.xml are showing http pages, of course Google bots will mark them as duplicates and will not see the https version of your website.

If your ssl certificate comes from weebly, is probably just a matter of time before both files update themselves and then you will be able to index https version re-submitting your sitemap.

I would open a ticket with weebly to make sure somebody looks into it and eventually drive you through the best way to accellerate the process.

If instead you are using a CDN as cloudflare or similar or other third party, robots.txt and sitemap.xml will not update as they are managed by Weebly and the server side will keep reading your website as http only.

Best!
