 * Please update to the latest version and resubmit your sitemap to Google to see
   if the errors go away. The latest version includes a fix for character encoding
   in the image:caption when using special characters ([https://github.com/semperfiwebdesign/all-in-one-seo-pack/issues/2065](https://github.com/semperfiwebdesign/all-in-one-seo-pack/issues/2065)).
