 * Thank you kindly for your swift response, Eli. I just reopened, and the two fields
   showed up immediately. Guess it must have been a hiccup of some kind as the fields
   were just there and I didn’t need to do anything?? Thanks again!

 * Hello [@jeremrm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremrm/),
 * An update. It looks like the sitemap issue is resolved. I get something like 
   a green bar feeling when I look at GSC and the error log has remained empty, 
   too. I’ve now bookmarked this thread to have quick access to your suggestions
   above should problems resurface. Thanks again.
 * Re. the sudden drop in impressions. Yes, there was a Google update 2 days after
   switching to Slim SEO (what bad timing that experiment of mine turned out to 
   be). But I’m still not convinced that was the cause. It’s a small site about 
   UX, Content Design, and Usability. Why would Google crash a niche website like
   that?! Furthermore, the 2 plugins seem to organize information differently, starting
   with how the sitemap is actually named. But this is just a gut feeling, and I
   could be entirely wrong.
 * The past few months, AI Overviews have had an impact on impressions and clicks.
   However, the drop for my website was Dec 24, so quite a while before this big
   change. I’ve been in touch with other bloggers; some are now more affected than
   others. I continued publishing content every week until July 25 but have now 
   taken a break. I’ll see if I pick it up again…
 * Thanks a bunch for your support!
   Inge

 * Thanks a bunch for the helpful infos and links, Jeremy.
 * Re. the sitemap. Towards the end of last week (after posting here), I discovered
   that the error_log showed several infinite loops and was advised to look for 
   other .httacess files besides the one in the main website folder. There was one
   2 levels above. Yikes, prob a manual error.
 * Deleted that file, deleted the (one) sitemap in GSC and resubmitted. All‘s been
   and stayed green so far. Didn’t want to change too much at once to follow what‘s
   actually doing what.
 * But I’ll circle back to your lines here and take next steps if and when needed…
 * Thanks again!
   Inge
