Can anyone help?

[The Smoking Gun!]

Hi All,

I am running a wordpress blog, linked to a mybb123 forum, and was wondering if anyone can tell me how to create an error free sitemap.xml file? I have tried numerous different sitemap generators, but all these sitemap.xml files error out when it comes to google webmaster tools submission, and do not know what it is that's wrong, I thought this should be something easy to accomplish!

Thanks for any assistance!

do a search for echoxml

I did that search and am no closer, i am brand new at this, is this something that will use up tremendous bandwidth?

I already got in to hot water with hosting for using sitemap generators that would find over 62k links in pages, but I only need ten or twelve pages in my sitemap at this time, as it is a new site with a wordpress blog with a few entries, and a mybb forum with a few entries!

Any more info would be appreciated!

Try this plugin. This plugin will generate sitemap and compatible with Google Sitemap.

if your site is small like mine you could just copy the xml sitemap file and change out my urls with your own:

If bandwidth is costly, I suggest either configuring the sitemaps generator to crawil your website in smaller chunks (use a sitemap index files to combine multiple sitemap files) or use custom generators, e.g. a plugin for WordPress and one for your forum etc. (and again comebine them using a sitemap index file)
