XML Sitemap Issue With PHP 7

jesseslam, Your xml sitemaps looks different from yoast seo sitemap. which sitemap u r using..

This is the Yoast SEO sitemap and the whole issue when I switch back to PHP 5.6 it reverts back to how it should look more like this https://www.dewstoneltd.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml. Would be great to start using PHP 7 but this issue is stopping me from switching.

i’ve no problem php7 with YOAST Sitemap
https://igobugil.net/info.php (PHPINFO)
https://igobugil.net/sitemap_index.xml (SITEMAP)
i’m using Nginx here my rules for yoast sitemap

# Yoast sitemap
location ~ ([^/]*)sitemap(.*)\.x(m|s)l$ {
  rewrite ^/sitemap\.xml$ /sitemap_index.xml permanent;
  rewrite ^/([a-z]+)?-?sitemap\.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=$1 last;
  # Rules for yoast sitemap with wp|wpsubdir|wpsubdomain
  rewrite ^.*/sitemap_index\.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
  rewrite ^.*/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?\.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$$
  # Following lines are options. Needed for WordPress seo addons
  rewrite ^/news_sitemap\.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_news last;
  rewrite ^/locations\.kml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local_kml last;
  rewrite ^/geo_sitemap\.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local last;
  rewrite ^/video-sitemap\.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=video last;
  access_log off;
}

Hi,

I’m using Apache maybe that’s the issue does anyone know of any way to fix this on Apache?

I may be out of my depth here, but have your tried re-saving your permalinks? I have issues in the past with similar and the fix was always to resave the permalinks.

Yoast says it’s caused by poorly coded themes. I can’t argue that one way or the other, but

Hello Jesseslam,

I also face same problem in few months ago but i solved.

1. Save your permalinks

2. Check whether if Jetpack install sitemap functionality Deactivate these option. Because two sitemaps running in same path.

3. Check other sitemap if activate then Delete it & also clear all cache.

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions tried re-saving the permalinks but it still looks the same https://www.lindenhouseepping.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml and I have no other site map plugins installed or Jetpack.

I have just checked Webmaster Tools and Google has in fact crawled the website using the sitemap and it’s showing no errors so I guess even though the links aren’t active in the sitemap index that doesn’t matter this was my main concern so I guess all is OK.

Thanks,

James
