 * I use Google xml sitemaps plugin and recently tried to add a plugin for an html
   page site-map (index of my site) which used shortcode. This plugin obviously 
   put something in html that xml is picking up and now I have an error in webmaster.
   I don’t know where to go to remove this error. (I did remove the html site-map
   plugin)
 * Messages in Webmaster: (Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a
   supported sitemap format instead. Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please
   use a supported sitemap format instead. [http://trainingaffiliateprogram.com/sitemap-misc.xml](http://trainingaffiliateprogram.com/sitemap-misc.xml)
   Tag: html line 10)
 * I deleted Google sitemaps xml and re-installed but the error is still there.
 * Anyone help please?? Thank you!
