Disable author/user sitemap must be off so no able this box and it works, for me it works, don’t no if this is the solution for you, in the past it was check box on.

Hi eltuti89 & ryanwaters82,

I checked your sitemaps:
https://www.paralocos.info/sitemap_index.xml & https://www.autostemtechnology.com/sitemap_index.xml

Both are working luckily. Can you please comment on what solved your issue and close this topic?

regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for checking out my sitemap. I have just logged onto webmaster tools and the error message is gone. What would have fixed the issue?

I am having the same problem with a different site https://www.crystalchandeliers.co.za/sitemap_index.xml

I would be very grateful if you could have a quick look.

Kind Regards
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I can see your sitemap at https://www.crystalchandeliers.co.za/sitemap_index.xml
What is the error exactly which you are getting in webmastertools?

regards,

Mike

Getting the same thing:

The error is

“Sitemap is HTML
Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.”

Guys,

Just looking at this … aren’t we mixing up with the author-sitemap.xml.

Sitemap itself is OK but after some time, the message mentioned in this thread is related to the author sitemap. Disabling in Yoast doesn’t work.

no i get the issue disable author site map ticked but it still adds an author sitemap to the index.xml and the author sitemap goes directly to a webpage https://www.mysite.co.uk/author-sitemap.xml

https://www.mysite.co.uk/page-sitemap.xml
https://www.mysite.co.uk/event-sitemap.xml
https://www.mysite.co.uk/author-sitemap.xml

Doing same on all sites that have had recent update

The solution for “Sitemap is HTML” is disable de cache plugin, in my case hyper cache, here the solution in my blog: https://tecnojuega.com/error-el-sitemap-es-html-en-webmaster-tools-solucion/
