Title: GoogleSearchConsole and Sitemap
Post by: xmanhattan on May 09, 2024, 17:54:00

Hello,
I just resubmitted my sitemaps and these are the results:

Code: [Select]

sitemap/
el/sitemap/
sitemap/sitemap.xml
The first two had the same error:
Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.
Examples
Line 2
Tag: html

Also, from the XML Sitemap tab, the Google link and the Bing link are outdated.

Just thought you would want to know.

The XML sitemap is the one with the xml extension. The others are html sitemaps. So, if you want the XML sitemap for Google this is the URL you must use:
https://example.com/sitemap/sitemap.xml
