Hello, I have been using Yoast for sitemaps. Till now everything was working fine. However lately its not working as usual. The sitemap shows plain text instead of proper link. Please have a look. www.richestclan.com/post-sitemap.xml I even saw that the total number of URL are 15 but on Google Webmasters only 13 are submitted. So how can I fix it. And will it affect my SEO? I am new to WP. I would appreciate your feed back. Thanks in Advance.
Your sitemap (http://www.richestclan.com/sitemap_index.xml) has an error <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="//www.richestclan.com/main-sitemap.xsl"?> Code (markup): Change: //www.richestclan.com/main-sitemap.xsl to http://www.richestclan.com/main-sitemap.xsl and make sure that all your links are included in your sitemap, read more here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/156184?hl=en
Thank you for replying. But how can I change it. Yoast automatically created it. So shall I a separate plugin for sitemap?
Sorry I don't know that plugin, why not try this sitemap plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/ or go here: http://kb.yoast.com/article/123-xml-sitemap-errors
Unless you show your sitemap to your visitors, XSL does not matter. Take a look at the actual source code generated, not what your browser shows you.
