The sections below should give you an idea whats going on. Errors, Warnings, Notices: WP_DEBUG was set to false somewhere before. You might not see all debug information until you remove this declaration! Result (text only): Vielen Dank für das Senden Ihrer Siteübersicht. Result (HTML): Vielen Dank für das Senden Ihrer Siteübersicht. * What this tells me is that the submit actually work. I’m not sure why I get a response in german, but that might be why the plugin isn’t able to parse the response properly and thus gives an error even if it seems everything is ok. * [speedygonz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedygonz/) * (@speedygonz) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-xml-sitemaps-error-notification-to-bing/#post-2045117) * I have exactly the same problem. As reported by Orakel, it seems that the notification works, as I also see the message “thanks for sending the sitemap” in the “view results” page. Could somebody confirm that the Bing notification actually works? * [rainer23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rainer23/) * (@rainer23) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-xml-sitemaps-error-notification-to-bing/#post-2045118) * Right, I’m also getting this, “thanks for sending sitemap”. When looking at my Bing webmaster tools account at [http://www.bing.com/webmaster/](http://www.bing.com/webmaster/) it looks like everything is ok. Site is indexed, visitor statistics, crawl details, etc etc. No hint that there is a problem. So it seems the only problem is with the plugin script of XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress 3.2.4 . * [Mike Castro Demaria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikecastrodemaria/) * (@mikecastrodemaria) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-xml-sitemaps-error-notification-to-bing/#post-2045132) * +1 same for me * [RVernede](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvernede/) * (@rvernede) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-xml-sitemaps-error-notification-to-bing/#post-2045133) * Same here?

Bing changed the response to be language specific (bases on IP) and there is no way to force Bing to reply in English. * The new beta version doesn’t d this check anymore, I will update the current stable one soon too. * [rainer23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rainer23/) * (@rainer23) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-xml-sitemaps-error-notification-to-bing/#post-2045154) * Yeah always the same every day, day after day, week after week, month after month………… * Your sitemap was last built on 19.
