 * I’m getting the following error and it’s not being recognized by Google’s Webmaster
   tools.
 *     ```
       This page contains the following errors:
       error on line 14 at column 22: xmlParseEntityRef: no name
       ```
   
 * It looks like line 14 column 22 is an “&” symbol in the description. I don’t 
   know if this helps you.
 * Thanks.
 * I’m disabling the plugin until it’s updated.

 * I manually changed the sitemap and change the “&” to the word “and” and the sitemap
   validated and worked correctly.
 * I disabled the plugin again so it doesn’t change the sitemap that’s there and
   submitted.
