    Hi. I wanted to let you know about a problem I found in your plugin, Country and State Selection Addon for Gravity Forms. We had an error with our sitemap.xml file that Yoast SEO’s support team said was caused by closing PHP tags somewhere on the site (see https://yoast.com/help/xml-sitemap-error/).

    We selectively deactivated plugins until we narrowed the issue down to Country and State Selection Addon for Gravity Forms. In the codebase of this plugin, we identified the following three files that had PHP closing tags and extra lines that needed to be removed.

    wp-content/plugins/gforms-addon-for-country-and-state-selection/class-gf-cws-fields.php

    wp-content/plugins/gforms-addon-for-country-and-state-selection/includes/functions.php

    wp-content/plugins/gforms-addon-for-country-and-state-selection/includes/class-gf-cws-admin-fields.php

    We removed these and our sitemap worked. The problem will come back in the next update of the plugin unless you change it in your base code. Please make the change. Thanks!

    I encountered a similar issue that I was able to correct by deleting extra lines following the closing ?> in the includes/functions.php file. Please correct this in subsequent versions.

    Hi there,

    Please try the latest version and let me know if you still face the similar issues.

    While I did not face issue on my side. It could be due to your theme or some other plugin.

    Thanks
