PHP Warning on default post-type sitemap

  • Hi, i am getting this error when accessing the default posts sitemap XML. I’ve already disabled all plugins and tried different workarounds but didn’t get much success.

    Other sitemaps are working without errors, such as categories and custom post types.

    I’ve checked that someone already had this problem, but it was a plugin conflict.

    I am using a custom theme and have some permalink modifications inside functions, but all the URLs inside the file are working well, only this error on top invalidates my XML. Could it be a theme conflict with the plugin?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi, to test for conflict with your theme, your only option is to temporarily switch to the default theme. Switching back right afterwards should keep your theme settings.

    I’m not able to reproduce the issue and cannot explain it either. The global WP_Query should always be available and return a post type value at that point. It might be something specific to your/the Windows hosting environment.

    You could test the current development version which has a failsafe getting the post type and should prevent public error output. Upon failure, the sitemap rendering should continue without error but a transient will be stored in the database, containing info about the cause of the issue.

    If you get the chance to test, I’d really appreciate it if you could post the content of a database option called _transient_xmlsf_prefetch_post_meta_failed in the wp_options table ??

    In any case, if your site is not a development site, I recommend disabling public PHP errors. This can be set in the server/host PHP ini file or in .htaccess or at runtime with ini_set('display_errors',0); in your wp-config.php

    I forgot: The dev version can be found on https://github.com/RavanH/xml-sitemap-feed green button on the right, download zip, extract zipped folder, then upload the content of that folder with an FTP program (like FileZilla) to your current wp-content/plugins/xml-sitemap-feed/ directory overwriting the existing plugin files.
