Only homepage is indexed

[Monsignor]

I ran the sitemap generator on my Laravel 7 app and, for some reason, it only indexed the homepage.

The links in the navigation are not generated by Javascript and they are not nofollow. I am using the default config for the generator, I didn't change a thing.

Yet, the generated sitemap.xml looks like this:

<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<url>
<loc>http://example.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2021-03-25T06:40:01+00:00</lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
</urlset>

I am having te same issue, did you find a solution to this?

[Monsignor]

No, I had to create a manual solution for my site.

[Luukdewaaier]

Too bad, mind sharing the solution?

[Monsignor]

I could, but I literally just added the pages of my website to the XML, I don't think this is useful to anyone :)

[Luukdewaaier]

Aah, that isn't useful indeed ;)

It wont add a collection.

SitemapGenerator::create(config('app.url')) ->add(Post::all()) ->writeToFile(public_path().'/sitemap.xml');

Error
Call to undefined method Spatie\Sitemap\SitemapGenerator::add()

Sitemap::create(config('app.url')) ->add(Post::all()) ->writeToFile(public_path().'/sitemap.xml');
BadMethodCallException
Method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::getType does not exist. (View: /var/www/project118/laravel/vendor/spatie/laravel-sitemap/resources/views/sitemap.blade.php)

I dont know why it would look for a blade template in the second example. All I want to do is add a collection to the sitemap and it does not work. Dont know why.

Like others, I manually added links and called it good enough for now.
