 * Ive just realised I have no functioning site map on my site even though I have
   Yoast SEO installed which automatically generates a sitemap.
 * The error from Google is suggesting that my sitemap is HTML but I have no idea
   what this means. I have no technical background but was wondering why my site
   traffic had dropped and I guess I now know why. Please help.
