Yep, it usually doesn't but can take weeks or months.

Ok, this is a screenshot for Bing and Yahoo!

Can you tell me why that they won't index these?

Have you tried actually clicking on the link and seeing what it says?

I am assuming this is where you wind up https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help...lines-30fba23a

It is pretty much step by step.

Certainly following those steps should help.

I've also have a problem.
but I resolved it today.

Here's how to do it:
Go to Admin->Configuration->Sessions
Change the Force Cookie Use "True" to "False"

Recently, Googlebot crawls without cookie.
If he is force to use cookie, he will be redirected to the cookie_usage page.
As soon as I set this setting to "False", Googlebot started coming.

Nice detective work! I've created a GitHub issue (https://github.com/lat9/sitemapxml/issues/45) and will update the admin tool to display a message identifying the condition, if found.

So, this issue with google not crawling while force cookie use is set to true only occurs because this plugin is installed? Put another way is why is this warning message only being applied to this plugin?
