 * Hi,
 * I received this notification from the admin area.
 * The following file is blocking your XML sitemaps from working properly. Either
   delete it (this can be done with the “Fix it” button) or disable Yoast SEO XML
   sitemaps.
    /home/sitename/public_html/geositemap.xml
 * Now I don’t want to delete the “geositemap.xml” because that file is needed to
   display the business in Google Earth.
 * I don’t want also to use another plugin just to generate and xml sitemap, i still
   want to use the Yoast XML sitemap, i hope there’s a solution for this.
 * Thanks,
    Aaron

 * We display that warning because other XML sitemap plugins can conflict with Yoast
   SEO. If you’ve created geositemap.xml manually and haven’t noticed any issues
   with the XML sitemap generated by Yoast SEO at sitemap_index.xml, you can safely
   ignore the warning.
