hey knssconsulting, try disabling and enabling XML Sitemap function in WordPress SEO by Yoast
Hi Bflo,
I did what you asked, how does that update Google Webmaster?
thx
Hi Knssconsulting, try re-saving your permalink setting. In some cases it fixes the sitemap issue.
Hi Sullstyo,
How do I save the permalink settings are you talking about in WordPress.org or in Google Webmaster tool?
Thx
I had that message the other day when adding a sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools. I had the url incorrect for the sitemap, so Google got the 404 page and read that, hence the “HTML not XML” error.
Might be the answer to the problem.
Problem is I am using SEO Yoast and I don’t see how to create the URL for the site map.
knssconsulting, don’t worry about Google Webmaster Tools. The important thing is that the sitemap is OK.
If the sitemap you are talking about is for http://knssconsulting.com/ then it is al right.
Hope it helps
@knssconsulting, on your wp dashboard go to Setting -> Permalinks
