    try deleting all xml.gz files and progress.dat if it exists in the /data folder and re-generate manually.

    IF you are still having issues, I will need to see a real link to sitemap 4 and the error line number.

    Unhappy Error " This XML tag has an invalid value. Please fix it and resubmit". How Would I do ?

    try deleting all xml.gz files and progress.dat if it exists in the /data folder and re-generate manually.

    IF you are still having issues, I will need to see a real link to sitemap 4 and the error line number.
    I make this step but no success.

    the error line is:

    PHP Code:
    109664<url>
    109665 <loc>http://www.clangsm.com.br/vb/archive/index.php/f-57.html</loc>
    109665  <priority>0.7673</priority>
    109666  <lastmod>2010-05-01T01:40:50+00:00</lastmod>
    109667 <changefreq>hourly</changefreq>
    109668</url
    google error:
    Line 109666 Invalid value of tag. This tag XML has an invalid value.
    I try smart frequency and manual frequency onto vbseo sitemap settings.

    my vBSEO 3.5.0 RC3

    and vBSEO Sitemap Generator 2.6 Beta 2.

    vBSEO Sitemap Generator 2.5 have a same problem.

    One question?
    if I update to 3.5 prerelease? this error afect? or no?

    You must use 2.6 on vb4, so please be sure to reinstall sitemap 2.6 beta2.

    There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with that line. Try deleting it again, re-generate, and re-submit it in webmaster tools. Note, that it is not instant and may take about an hour or so for google to re-download it.
