How Can I Fix the Error "URL Not Alllowed?"
« on: June 12, 2009, 01:50:03 AM »
Hi,

Do you know how to fix this error in our sitemap? I generated an xml
sitemap, then uploaded it as a file on our server. But, when I submitted
it to Google Webmaster Central, I get the following error report...

Error:
URL not allowed. This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location.
URL: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

Homepage:
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

Sitemap:
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

Thank you for your help,

Greg Gibson

Hello,

can you provide a screenshot of the error you get in Google webmaster tools?

I'm sorry I don't have a camera, but I copied and pasted all the error info.
in my first post. Is there anything else you need?

If you can email me your google webmaster login to check this further (oleg at xml-sitemas.com) that might help.

There is nothing else in Google Webmaster's error report that I haven't already posted. What are you looking for?

Didn't you manually modify the xml sitemap? It seems like all entries are combined on a single line. Make sure that you save the sitemap on your computer (https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/download/www.weddinginvitationsandfavors.com/sitemap.xml ) and then upload it (without copy'n'paste the content of sitemap).
