[Plugin: Google News Sitemap Generator] Google Says XML Error in Sitemap

Site url?

It is mentioned above. i.e. https://www.dailylatestnews.com/

Right now i manually added <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
in the genrated news sitemap. And it is now accepted. But What about is same happen in future

In that case, I suggest you try to find the source for the multiple lines added to the sitemap file that reference “Debug”:

<!-- Debug: Start Postings --><!-- Debug: Priority report of postID 56: Comments: 0 of 184 = 0 points -->

I Did not understand what are you talking about. Can u explain more about it?

Hi,

I have just noticed that Google have updated the example Google News Sitemap on their help page below:

https://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=74288

The sitemap now includes this additional “<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>” line at the beginning of the sitemap.

dailylatestnews did Google Webmaster Tools accept your sitemap after manually editing the plugin script to include this line?

Chris

Yes Chris…
After Manually adding “<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>”

Google acceopted my sitemap.

But When Next time new :google news sitemap” generated by this plugin. The Line again went missing…

Now How to fix it… someone help me

There are multiple references to <!-- Debug: Start Postings --><!-- Debug: Priority report of postID 56: Comments: 0 of 184 = 0 points --> in the RSS feed itself. That suggests there’s a problem elsewhere that is impacting on the feed generation. Try deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

I am trying following. Let me know if i am doing right

In google-news-sitemap.php file i am replacing
$xmlOutput .= “<urlset xmlns=\”https://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9\”
xmlns:news=\”https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9\”>\n”;

With ————>>>>>>>>

$xmlOutput = “<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>\n”;
$xmlOutput .= “<urlset xmlns=\”https://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9\”
xmlns:news=\”https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9\”>\n”;

No info in XML
<urlset>
</urlset>
