Hi. I changed my Main Language from English to Estonian and my site URL-s changed and google robots are trying to reach the old URL-s and I can't get my pages indexed. Only Woocommerce is indexed. How can I introduce the new URL-s to google robots?

Hello and thank you for contacting us.
From SEO standpoint, it is generally not advisable to change the URL, especially if you are using language in directory setup.
If you have a SEO plugin - some of them have the ability to redirect the traffic appropriately via redirects and will generate the proper sitemap that you can manually submit, but this will take a time for Google to re-crawl and re-index.

If your SEO plugin does not have redirect functionality you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/ Redirection plugin to setup manually the redirects.
