Hello,

please check our search engine bot simulator tool to see if other pages on your site are crawlable: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/se-bot-simulator.html

hello admin


i checked your link and it's working well through using SE Bot Simulation Results which is  not like my sitemap.xml . the first problem is  with my generator site i have only one link as you can see here [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]  and the secend problem is with  the charset not being UTF-8 due to the vague appearance of the arabic characters 

that's all and thanks in advance

Hello,

try to specify http://domain.com (without www) as starting URL.

re: utf8
You should modify pages/sitemap_tpl.html file to change the character set:
Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;" charset="UTF-8" />
and then regenerate sitemap.

hello admin

the first  problem is solved but the secend one is still existing in sitemap.xml


look at it [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
charset <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>  and characters don't appear well

for example :

<loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]مدرسين-خصوصي.html</loc>
  <priority>0.40</priority>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
  <lastmod>2008-10-08T18:53:08+00:00</lastmod>

this is my problem

Hello,

the links in xml sitemap are always urlencoded and are using utf-8 character set, they should only be submitted to search engines.
