Go to https://zoolpool.com/index.php/sitemap?format=xml&rewrite=1

1st link is https://zoolpool.com/index.php/

It doesn't work. If '/' is removed after index.php, it works. So there is error.

Also I want to remove the 2nd link https://zoolpool.com/index.php/members as it is not for public access.

Also I want to remove member link from https://zoolpool.com/sitemap

I am getting error message in Google search console for these two links.

Can anyone tell me how to edit the sitemap.

I understand the link given is helpful.

But isn't it a bug in socialengine coding which is used to generate a sitemap.

Instead of writing index.php/ it should have written index.php

And it should have eliminated links which has been denied public access.

Ok I will ask the host for trailing slash issue.

For temporary basis I have found the solution.

Instead of using https://zoolpool.com/index.php/sitemap?format=xml&rewrite=1

I will use https://zoolpool.com/sitemap?format=xml&rewrite=1

i.e. by removing index.php from sitemap url.

What about eliminating links in sitemap which have been denied public issue. Can it be requested as a new feature.

In https://community.socialengine.com/sitemap?format=xml&rewrite=1 also showing same problem.

2nd link is https://community.socialengine.com/members

But /members access is denied to public & search engine. Google will show error for this.

For trailing slash issue I checked in other socialengine php based sites. There also it's not working. For example

http://www.example.com/index.php/

If you remove '/' it will work.

I think it's problem with .htaccess file code somewhere

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Get rid of index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /index\.php
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=2 [L,QSA]

# Rewrite all directory-looking urls
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=1 [L,QSA]

I am not a tech guy, so don't know exactly.
