Ever since installation I get this after creating or editing an entry:

An error was encountered while trying to notify Google about this entry
An error was encountered while trying to notify Yahoo about this entry
An error was encountered while trying to notify Bing about this entry
An error was encountered while trying to notify Ask about this entry

Any idea how to fix that? The sitemap seems to be created and updated just fine.

is this happening on a hosted site or on a localhost? if on a localhost then there is probably no connection to the outside and hence the add-on can’t ping the search engines. also are you on the latest version 2.2?

Just recently (past couple weeks) I’ve been seeing the error with Ask: “An error was encountered while trying to notify Ask about this entry” but no errors for the others. Can I make this add-on not bother with Ask? Or did Ask change something about their service? Using version 2.4.1.

Also starting see the Ask related error; “An error was encountered while trying to notify Ask about this entry”.

Is there any update on this?

Note: Seeing this on a localhost with internet connection.

yeah seems Ask have stopped their sitemap submission service. will remove in the next release.

Thanks, Ben! :)

update ee to 2.6.1 but I get “An error was encountered while trying to notify Ask about this entry” is this error coming back????

have removed Ask.com in version 2.6.2 as it no longer exists as a service
