xml parsing syntax error for sitemap

Hi @salnak

Thanks for using Yoast SEO plugin. We understand that you have noticed the “XML Parsing Error: syntax error” within the sitemap. We can see how this might give you pause. We are happy to take a look! Let’s see what is going on.

In most cases, the error you have noticed occurs due to a conflict with another plugin or theme on your website. But when I checked the sitemap_index.xml, I noticed that the sitemap and the sub-sitemaps are loading without any issues; see screenshot https://ibb.co/1ZQ5NTT.

If the issue persists at your end, can you please clear the cache from caching plugins, the server, a CDN like Cloudflare, or the browser? If you are not sure how to clear the cache from a plugin, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the plugin author. If you’d like to clear the cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser, use this guide:?How to clear my browser’s cache?

Please don’t hesitate to contact us back if you have further concerns. We are happy to help.
