FAQ

Why is my browser not rendering the XML properly?

When disabling the XSL (XML Stylesheet) in, the XML will be rendered by the browser.

If you have a i18n integration, then it's likely you'll see your sitemap look raw text instead of XML.

This is a browser bug in parsing the xhtml namespace which is required to add localised URLs to your sitemap. There is no workaround besides re-enabled the XSL.

Google Search Console shows Error when submitting my Sitemap?

Seeing "Error" when submitting a new sitemap is common. This is because Google previously crawled your site for a sitemap and found nothing.

If you're sitemap is validating correctly, then you're all set. It's best to way a few days and check back. In nearly all cases, the error will resolve itself.
