    Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

    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.

    Also make sure you only have one scheduled task defined within Admincp Scheduled Tasks.

    lastmod is missing the timestamp.

    Try deleting all your xml/gz files from the ftp site and re-running the sitemap generator again.

    If a time still fails to load, check your server clock.
