Hi,
do you have the plugin installed? I can’t find your sitemap.xml
Me too facing the same issue recently. Google WMT says error. Invalid XML file.
I’m having the same issue with 6 websites, I’m managing that were just recently launched. The are some samples of what is on the sitemap.xml pages which then drill down to the actual sitemap. I have deleted the plugin and re-installed it and am still having the same issue!
HELP!!!! There is obviously a bug in the plugin, as I have seen multiple posts in this forum on this.

I am also having the same issue.
What I don’t understand is why it changed. This was a great plugin a few versions ago. I am using am older version currently, with no problems.
The older versions just find posts/pages, and spit out an accurate file in the form of sitemap.xml. There are no sitemap-misc.xml or sitemap-pt-page-2014-11.xml files.
Is there anyway to use this plugin like the older versions, without all of the extraneous files? Just a simple sitemap.xml, that updates when post/pages are added or removed.
Thank You.

Update: Mine is working fine now. My link above shows the correct sitemap. My newest ones just appeared working and then I cleaned up my sitemaps on webmaster tools–testing and resubmitted the ones with errors.
Hello, michellecoates– When I manually typed in your sitemap address, I am get a working site map as shown below, it lists almost 30 pages that go to the corresponding page of the site. I noticed on mine that contain ‘sitemap-pt-post-2014-05.xml’, are all the posts I published for that month, my archives. I am not seeing that date info at all in your sitemap like you have listed above.

The sitemap is now working because I uninstalled the most current version and installed version 3.4.1 and that seemed to fix the issue. You can find the previous versions of the plugin here: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/developers/
good luck!

Hi banthafoodoo,
I reinstalled it and then tested and resubmitted the sitemaps on webmaster tools, other than that I did nothing else.
Thank you michellecoates and summer313.
I will just continue using version 3.2.6.
