Problem has been fixed, Warnings and Error messages has been disabled. All 3 sitemaps point OK.

Thank You

So the trick was, delete your old sitemaps and generate new ones and delete the sitemap also in your google page and re-submit everything fresh.

Cheers

Fact and no longer gives me the error, what happens now is that the last sitemap not lee.me always said that:

Looks like sitemap has been parsed correctly.

The fix seems to have worked for me too!

I am not doing any fix, until a vbseo staff member can make a stickied post in this section with the fix.

1. Because this thread is long, and the fix is here there and everywhere.
2. Because I want to know if is an official fix that we should all do.
3. Because i'm wondering if an actual public update will be given to the sitemap with this fix.

A temporary fix in this post should remove warning messages from webmaster account, the next version of sitemap generator will include a more advanced way of assigning priority to address the issue better.

Any ETA on the next release?

We don't have ETA at this time. Please note that this is only a warning message and even with it sitemap is still parsed and processed by Google correctly.

k, well warnings have gone away since doing that edit.

I have applied this changes, but still getting the warning message for my last sitemap file

All the URLs in your Sitemap have the same priority.
All the URLs in your Sitemap are set to the same priority (not the default priority). Priority indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact your site's performance in search results. If all URLs have the same priority, Google can't tell which are more important.

Did you regenerate sitemap and resubmit it to Google?

Hello Oleg.
google last download sitemap on 27th january 2009
we applied the changes 3 days ago.

Did you delte all your existing sitemaps and re generate sitemaps ?

Will try this now, unsure if this is really required

Hello,

If you did not delete those files, then it would have those URLs saved into the sitemap files without the priority changes, which is why you need to delete all files ending with .xml.gz that are located inside of your vbseo_sitemap/data folder.
