    Hello ,

    It looks like Google implemented a new warning. We are currently investigating what can cause this.

    I removed the url from extra-urls.txt and regenerated the sitemaps. I'm hoping if that works.

    Thanks Mert,

    I also had warnings for duplication of urls in my sitemap. Webmaster was telling me the poll.php urls were being duplicated so i removed poll.php from the sitemap and resubmitted, it seems to be fine but ill check back later.

    I only have the sitemap generator plugin installed from vbulletin.org but i dont have vbseo.

    Tags can be good to have. However, it all depends on what your users are actually using FOR the tag itself. I personally do NOT include tags in my sitemaps, and still, many tag pages are indexed in the SERPs.

    Admincp - vBSEO Sitemap generator settings - include Tags pages choose no and then save your settings
    and remove all .gz files located in your data folder and then re-generate your sitemap manually

    1) Remove files ending in .gz from your vbseo_sitemap/data folder
    2) Login to your vbseo_sitemap, and generate sitemap.

    Google has changed a few things and is throwing this error. We are currently looking into this.
