   My Google News Sitemap is rejected today when i checked google webmaster tools. There was this message "Missing XML tag
   This required tag is missing. Please add it and resubmit."

   Here is the Format of the recently generated sitemap using your plugin -------------------------------
   <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
   xmlns:news="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9">
   <url>

   Kindly Guide

   In that case, I suggest you try to find the source for the multiple lines added to the sitemap file that reference "Debug":

   <!-- Debug: Start Postings --><!-- Debug: Priority report of postID 56: Comments: 0 of 184 = 0 points -->

   Hi,

   I have just noticed that Google have updated the example Google News Sitemap on their help page below:

   http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=74288

   The sitemap now includes this additional "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" line at the beginning of the sitemap.

   dailylatestnews did Google Webmaster Tools accept your sitemap after manually editing the plugin script to include this line?

   Chris

   There are multiple references to <!-- Debug: Start Postings --><!-- Debug: Priority report of postID 56: Comments: 0 of 184 = 0 points --> in the RSS feed itself. That suggests there's a problem elsewhere that is impacting on the feed generation. Try deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    Hi,
    have the same problem as dailylatestnews. The sitemap-zrlset does not any item.
    perhaps it is a conflict with these plugins:

    - DDSitemap Generator (for a user-friendly sitemap-page)
    - Google XML sitemap (for normal sitemap - not news)

    My Blog: http://www.tagseoblog.de

    Greetings, Martin

    Hi Chris,

    Here is what i face each time i publish a new article in my wordpress site.

    After Clicking on the publishing Button The Google News sitemap plugin generates Correct Sitemap for the first time. But after few seconds around 10-30 seconds. The plugin again generated a new sitemap in wrong format like this -
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
    xmlns:news="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9">
    </urlset>
    <!-- Last build time: September 6, 2009, 8:23 am-->

    To correct the sitemap then a again update my post that i just published. So after updating sitemap again generates in the correct format. So i have to update each post again after publishing so that sitemap rebuild again in correct format. I hope i am more clear now.

    Following are the plugins that i am currently using
    All in One SEO
    FeedBurner
    Google News Sitemap
    Register Plus
    SexyBookmarks
    Smart Ads
    Smart Update Pinger
    Vote the Post
    Who Is Online
    PostViews
    WP-SpamFree
    WP Super Cache
    Related Posts (YARPP)
    XML-Sitemap

    Kindly let me know if anything else required.

    Regards
    Vicky

    Hi Chris,

    I found the problem and did the necessary changes to my blog. Now there is no problem and everything is working fine.

    What i did?
    I installed a plugin called smart update pinger. This plugin tells us that which sites pinged successfully and which are having problem. I removed the list of the ping services that were giving problem and now everything is working perfect.

    Regards
    Vicky
