Title: sitemap error loading stylesheet Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # sitemap error loading stylesheet * [podictionary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podictionary/) * (@podictionary) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-error-loading-stylesheet/) * I have installed the Google Sitemap Generator plugin and it appears in the dashboard as it should. However, when I look at what it generates I see: _Error loading stylesheet: An XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML mimetype:[http://www.podictionary.com/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.xsl](http://www.podictionary.com/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.xsl) I don’t know why or how to fix. Any clues?

Please try the new beta (3.0b7) and let me know if that fixes your problem 🙂 * Best regards, * Arne * Thread Starter [podictionary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podictionary/) * (@podictionary) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-error-loading-stylesheet/#post-565054) * Thanks Arne I have upgraded as you suggest and that did not work. But your hint that it was pointing to the wrong file path allowed me to put in a second (fake) file path for it to point to the right file and it is now working with this temporary workaround. * [globalkris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globalkris/) * (@globalkris) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-error-loading-stylesheet/#post-565295) * I’m having the same problem but do not understand what exactly you did to get it working… * [stevehl42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevehl42/) * (@stevehl42) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-error-loading-stylesheet/#post-565300) * I, as well, have this problem and do not understand exactly how you got this working. Any help is much appreciated, thanks. * [rankinit2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrsdiva/) * (@mrsdiva) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-error-loading-stylesheet/#post-565304) * The sitemap.xls file doesn’t declare a stylesheet. To make it work I did the following: * Substitute the following in the sitemap.xls file in the 1st line: * FROM: * TO: the result is OK for IE , and FF showed the error message. * Using the code ` to this ` ` in the sitemap.xml file. THEN… I added this AddType application/xml . xsl to my .htaccess and now everything seems to be working fine for me.
