    I recently got this 302 error with google. I need help as to the cause so my site can be fully indexed. I am new to all of this so treat me as though i came into this world only yesterday.

    error:
    When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.

    HTTP Error:
    URL:
    Found: 302 (Moved temporarily) [?]

    You cannot contain URLs in your sitemap that are redirected, remove that URL and problem is solved.

    Either do what ssandecki suggested or make the link into a 301 redirect instead.

    It doesn't matter, you cannot put a redirect URL in a sitemap and the URL it redirects to, you'll always get this error.

    When I checked the above page, I found that it has a temporary redirect which is further redirecting to the page which does not exist. So Google is showing this error.

    Also Google does not allow temporary redirect as we know it is regarded as two different page. So add only those pages which exist in your website & make sure they are not redirecting.
