@dailylatestnews: Please can you explain the problem you are having in more detail? Also what version of WordPress and what version of this plugin are you using?

@marcinpl: Please can you supply me with a direct hyperlink to your website & sitemap.

Hi,
have the same problem as dailylatestnews. The sitemap-zrlset does not any item.
perhaps it is a conflict with these plugins:

– DDSitemap Generator (for a user-friendly sitemap-page)
– Google XML sitemap (for normal sitemap – not news)

Hi Chris,

Here is what i face each time i publish a new article in my wordpress site.

After Clicking on the publishing Button The Google News sitemap plugin generates Correct Sitemap for the first time. But after few seconds around 10-30 seconds. The plugin again generated a new sitemap in wrong format like this –
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<urlset xmlns=”https://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9&#8243;
xmlns:news=”https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9″&gt;
</urlset>

To correct the sitemap then a again update my post that i just published. So after updating sitemap again generates in the correct format. So i have to update each post again after publishing so that sitemap rebuild again in correct format. I hope i am more clear now.

Following are the plugins that i am currently using
All in One SEO
FeedBurner
Google News Sitemap
Register Plus
SexyBookmarks
Smart Ads
Smart Update Pinger
Vote the Post
Who Is Online
PostViews
WP-SpamFree
WP Super Cache
Related Posts (YARPP)
XML-Sitemap

Kindly let me know if anything else required.

Hi Chris,

I found the problem and did the necessary changes to my blog. Now there is no problem and everything is working fine.

What i did?
I installed a plugin called smart update pinger. This plugin tells us that which sites pinged successfully and which are having problem. I removed the list of the ping services that were giving problem and now everything is working perfect.

Regards
Vicky
