    Hi,
    I copied the sitemap link, which i took from my SEO Yoast panel into my sitemap section of the google console. but i am getting an error message:

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

    i cant figure out what i am doing wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thankyou
    Schlomith Sassoon

    Can you please provide us with a link to the sitemap you are experiencing this issue with?

    The error you received on your sitemap regarding it being in HTML format can be caused by a number of issues, including the submitted URL, or that the sitemap page is being redirected. Can you please confirm whether the sitemap you submitted to Google is for ‘sitemap.xml’ or for ‘sitemap_index.xml’ ? ?If you have submitted the sitemap as ‘sitemap.xml’ you would need to delete that sitemap from your Google Search Console and then resubmit the sitemap as ‘sitemap_index.xml.’
    ?
    ?We also have additional information on the error that your sitemap is not in the correct format and is an HTML file at the following link: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/why-is-google-saying-my-xml-video-sitemap-is-an-html-file/#redirect
