Google - Sitemap have the same priority

Does anyone know the way to get the sitemap without errors just once?
Then I can submit one without errors and deactivate the sitemap system untill there's a working fix for it...

I had those warnings, too.

I updated the sitemap generator to 2.2 and noticed it doesn't have the fix here so i edited the functions file and uploaded it...then i changed show thread pages priority to 0.9 and enabled smart priority, run the sitemap generator and re-submitted it to google.

I don't have the warnings for 4-5 days.

I have done the same as NeutralizeR over the last couple of days and so far been error free.
I'm now trying to track down my sudden loss of indexed pages from google. It might possibly have been a link in the footer from the designer of my new skin. Now thats been edited, its just a case of the waiting game to see if those indexed pages return.

Hi everyone
I thought I'd chime in here regarding these changes. In general, these are just warnings that can help you to optimize your Sitemap files -- they're not errors. If you are generating Sitemap files automatically, you can usually just ignore these warnings or just remove the "priority" value from the Sitemap file altogether. It's great to see the vbSEO community so fast in responding to these changes: keep up the good work!

I did all that before with no luck but today I removed the sitemap generator, re-installed it, applied the fix, changed default priority to 0.9 and enabled smart priority. No errors at the moment so hope they are gone :-)

I have the same errors, I am really busy, should I take time out to fix it or is it OK to leave be

Well I just don't like warnings and the ammount of indexed pages is still going down so I have to find the source..

I tried the fix again yesterday and it worked. But when the automated sitemap was created is contained errors again.
I reuploaded the edited functions file, manually generated the sitemap again and it had no errors :-S
Any ideas?

I am not so sure if this "warnings" are not errors. Because today i logged into my webmaster tools account and my sitemap was deleted. there was no entry and i resubmit it now. hopefully this will fix it

After adding this i still have warnings!
how can i solve this problem?

What exactly is the message you get? What is the sitemap URL?

Hi There Oleg.....
before enabling the "Replace post number" the warnings was about priority
now after enabling the "Replace post number" "Duplicate title tags" problem i have warnings in all sitemap!!
and the message is:

URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.

====
coz the url was like this: www.site.com/vb/post2550-1
and the url now after enabling post number is like www.site.com/vb/2550.html

what should i do?
should i run sitemap again from my vbseo ???
waiting your help coz this is harming my site more than before!

I had the same error show up, but after a day it would go, come back and go for good.

I was getting the error on one of my add ons
