    Parsing Error in first sitemap

    http://www.mustangevolution.com/forum/sitemap_1.xml.gz

    That is the link to it:

    Parsing error (Line 14) We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.

    I dont know what line 14 is because when I got to view it via the link about it tells me the same thing

    I got a parsing error in my sitemap_1 as well. How can I change the directory to root (if that solved the issue)

    Cheers

    Hello Jay,

    this problem seems to be related to the forum "links" defined. Please try to exclude the with the following code modification of vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file.
    FIND:
    $dprune = $forumcache[$forumid]['daysprune'];
    ADD ABOVE:
    if($forumcache[$forumid]['link'])continue;
    And re-generate your sitemap.

    Still showing the same parsing error on the same line (38). Any other ideas? This has only happened in the last 2 days and the software has been running happily for a few weeks.

    Ok - narrowed this down and it is to do with some internal links I have set up in VB that the XML parser doesn't like. I have added a 'link' to each category name that will display new posts within that category.

    EG:

    Code:
    http://www.yorkshire-divers.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&include=27,34,77,80
    This then brings back any new posts in those numbered forums since the user last logged in.

    Any help on how to get past this? I may have to code these links into the dynamic menu drop down for New Posts but would prefer to run it this way for the meantime
    Regards

    Jay

    I have updated the link code to
    Code:
    search.php?do=getnew&include=27,34,77,80
    so it displays properly but it won't parse - doesn't seem to link the numbers at the end.
    Regards

    [RESOLVED]

    I have removed the offending links and written a secy drop down menu on the navbar instead. Am re-submitting revised sitemaps to ensure it now works.
