 * Hi,
   About three months ago, I bought and installed the Directory Tools (I’m also
   using the Combo Multisearch). I think I’ve set everything alright as per your
   instructions, but I’d like to be sure, because I do not see an increase in visitors
   during this time.I’ve checked on the Google Search Console, but I can’t see there
   if my individual participants are being indexed. By the way, my Sitemap has been
   set including them (with RankMath).Can you, please, help me check if the Directory
   Tools are working fine, and it can be correctly indexed, and it’s searchable?
   Thanks in advance.
 * BTW: I tried to post this question on your Support page, and it’s absolutely 
   impossible. Every time is marked as spam.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdirectory-tools%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Sorry about the site not accepting your post, I will need to adjust the settings.
 * There are two things to check with the site map, and maybe you’ve already done
   this, but first, you can open the site map in your web browser to check if it
   can be loaded and also check that your proxy posts (which represent Participants
   Database records) are listed in the sitemap.
 * In Google Search Console, follow the sitemaps link to see if everything is getting
   read on Google’s end. Click on the sitemap file in the list of sitemaps to show
   a listing of all the pages it has read in the site map. This will tell you for
   sure if they are indexed.
 * If it’s in the sitemap, it has been indexed…but whether the proxy posts will 
   show up in a Google search result or not depends on a lot of things, many of 
   which you can’t really control.
 * If you want the Participants Database records (via the Proxy Posts) to be findable
   on your site, the regular WP search should work, but if you want to improve site
   search, I’d suggest using the Relevanssi plugin.
