 * Please download the latest version of the Image Sitemap plugin. It should fix
   the issue.

 * I’m getting the folowing error on XML Images Sitemap, but only on one of my sites.
 * This page contains the following errors:
 * error on line 4 at column 10: Opening and ending tag mismatch: urlset line 0 
   and url
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
 * There is no rendering of page below it. I tried removing and re-installing plugin,
   and changing themes. I was also getting 404 page when logging in instead of dashboard.
   When I removed plugin it went away. Whatever this is, I think it is also affecting
   SEOPressor plugin. This is the only site I have a problem with it.

 * I hope someone out there has an idea what the solution is.
    Or at least be able
   to tell me how to find line 4 column 10.
