Couldn't fetch sitemap(s) 6 Recommended Answers 132 Replies 153 Upvotes

I just migrated a website from jedrenje11.joker007.net to www.jedrenjegrckaostrva.com.
It's a WordPress website.
Sitemaps are created using Yoast plugin. They load fine. However, when submitting the sitemaps to google, I get an error: "Couldn't fetch". Submitted them yesterday. For some reason, Google won't load the sitemaps.
Made all the pages from the old address 301 redirect to the new domain matching pages.
Trying to do "URL inspection" of a sitemap link (which loads fine in browser):
https://www.jedrenjegrckaostrva.com/page-sitemap.xml
I get the option to "TEST LIVE URL". Clicking it shows:
"No: 'noindex' detected in 'X-Robots-Tag' http header"
So I checked robots.txt in website's root. There was none! :)

Yes, know there is a problem with the dashboard. Been telling Google about it for over a year. Alas Googe seem uninterested in fixing it.
We can help you try to understand what going on, and how to deal with it. But we can't fix Google any more than you can.

The key point in there was probably 'after about one week'.
... as such as long as there isnt actully anything wrong with the sitemap, its a waiting game. Can't 'fix' it as such.

@Kiotie, agree it would be nice. but getting a annoncement from Google can be likel trying to get blood from a stone!
@Randy, if a sitemap is a 'required' process for google to find the site, then something is 'wrong'. Google should be able to crawl a site, without ever seeing a sitemap.

Don't worry, currently it seems that it shows that error until Google has had time to process the sitemap. Give it a day or two and things should look fine. The confusing error has been reported.

The New Search Console is reporting based on old data (e.g. robots.txt, noindex meta tags, etc), even older than the Old Search Console. It will catch up over time. Patience.

It's a travesty. A week of couldn't fetch. Why break what worked? Is this an improvement?
They get paid (and very well) to do stuff like this and leave it broken for who knows how long.
Ridiculous company.
