XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
« on: May 20, 2010, 10:46:05 AM »
Hi There,

I've noticed that google webmaster doesn't crawl my sitemap.xml due to error. No issue with the mobilesitemap.xml and ror.xml

When I browse the [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] I can see this message instead of showing the sitemap.

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Line Number 59, Column 71:       <loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>
----------------------------------------------------------------------^

Any ideas why it happen ?

Hello,

what is the version of sitemap generator you are running? Make sure it's the latest one.

Everything is working well now, I'm not sure why the previous version giving such error and it happen only after few runs to generate new sitemap.

Oh well.. stick to the new version then.
