    I have uploaded my sitemap, which contains woocommerce products.
    I have received the following error from Google:

    This tag was not recognized. Please fix it and resubmit.

    My website is in cyrillic, could that be causing the issue ?

    I just downloaded one of the .xls files that gives an error and this is what I found:
    Warning: file_exists(): Unable to find the wrapper “https” – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in wp-content\plugins\google-sitemap-generator\sitemap-core.php on line 1176

    I managed to fix that issue by enabling the extension openssl. When I download the file itself – there is no error, but on sitemap validators I keep getting them (on Google my error count keeps growing too).
    This is the error from one of the sitemap validators:

    “All values in a Sitemap must be entity-escaped. Please check to make sure that your URLs follow the RFC-3986 standard for URIs, the RFC-3987 standard for IRIs, and the XML standard.”
