Macrura Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 just some guesses - 1.) do you have a robots.txt file in the root 2.) have you checked to see if Bing is accessing the same site, www vs non-www? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstevensjr Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 What is the code in your .htaccess file that references bingbot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 thank you guys! first i want to tell you that i use processwire 2.4 version (because my server run on php 5.3) hi Macrura, no i dont use robots.txt and i just have enable this on htaccess RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] so it will redirect to www hi cstevensjr, i just use the original htaccess for version 2.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstevensjr Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 In Bing Webmaster Tools, have you submitted a Sitemap for the website in question? first i want to tell you that i use processwire 2.4 version (because my server run on php 5.3) If you are using at least PHP 5.3.8 you can use PW 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrura Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 i would definitely check with the hoster and see if they are blocking bing; i would also follow @cstevensjr advice and try the sitemap;also try and see if you can specifically set the search domain as www version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
