‘Content Encoding Error’ is all I get as well.
Try http://www.carlowgraphics.com/sitemap.xml
Any ideas?
Kind Regards
Need that one fixed. Can we get a reply from developer please?
Hi,
are you both using version 4.0.3 of the plugin? 4.0.3 fixed a bug with some other plugins which tried to compress the page.
Yes, using the latest version available, which is 4.0.3, but still have mentioned here problem.
And cause of that am afraid to update the plugin on few more websites it’s on.
Hi,
can you try the dev version: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/google-sitemap-generator.zip
I’ve fixed a bug with the gzip encoding there.
Hi Arnee,
Installed that version but still broken 🙁
This is what I see when inspecting http://www.carlowgraphics.com/sitemap.xml page, but only error pops in front end.

Hi,
I see what’s the problem. There is a whitespace or new line in front of the output. This is not allowed in a XML document.
For the same reason your RSS feed is broken:
http://www.carlowgraphics.com/feed/
Please check your theme functions.php and see if there is whitespace before the opening <?php tag or after the closing ?> at the end.
As a temporary workaround, you can try this fix:
http://wejn.org/stuff/wejnswpwhitespacefix.php.html
Thanks, the fix worked.
I haven’t found any white space though and the feed still seems to be broken, but at least simemap is there now.
Strange issue. Plus it wasn’t there before the latest major update of your plugin. Hmm…
In this case I can blame the theme I guess, cause it’s #$%@^$ and we will be re-designing this website.
I’m going to try to update your plugin on one other website with much more solid framework, lets see how it will behave there!
Cheers.
On a side note, isn’t it a little bit wierd way that the sitemap shows now? http://www.carlowgraphics.com/sitemap.xml
I just updated the plugin on other website, no problems there.
http://www.ballyderrinhouse.ie/sitemap.xml
but, if I compare that to http://www.carlowgraphics.com/sitemap.xml
Hmm… Is it that the plugin has simply splited carlowgraphics website sitemap to smaller sitemaps as it’s too heavy to look like on ballyderrinhouse? Or?
Also, is sitemap.xml.gz not to be used anymore?
And last one, noob question, sorry if in wrong place – what’s the purpose of using ‘Include sitemap in HTML format’ option?
Hi,
I’ve wrote a small article about the new format here:
http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/google-xml-sitemap-generator-new-sitemap-format/
The sitemap.xml.gz URL still works, but the plugin now detects automatically if the client support compression, so the .gz extension is not required anymore.
The HTML format was a request I have received quite frequently. Basically it creates a HTML sitemap (sitemap.html) which can be read by browsers which do not support the XML standard.
