[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] error on line 2 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the docume

Can you give me the URL to your XML Sitemap?

Shure, its here.

Thanks.

Please follow the instructions found here to test with the development version. This bug has already been fixed there I think. You are, however, running your live server with WP_DEBUG set to true. I wouldn’t do that.

Strange, I have it in other sites with no problem at all. I just update it to development version and now I have a blank post-sitemap.xml.

About the WP_DEBUG, I have it as false in config, so thats strange.

What can I do to fix this ?

Thanks.

Something is enabling the debug mode, otherwise the notices wouldn’t fly. Seriously though, test the development version.

I have the development version installed and the result is a blank page, please see the sitemap for the result.

What can be enabling the debug mode ? That’s strange.

Thanks.

Clear your cache, or make sure to reupload the development version. The issue there couldn’t be happening in the development version…

Ok, now I get this:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://acuarioadictos.com/post-sitemap.xml
Line Number 2816, Column 27:			<image:title>Animales & Cia</image:title>
-----------------------------------------------^

If anyone else is having this problem, I found this:

- All the & characters in query strings must be & .
- Whatever you used to build the sitemap is faulty.

(Code is not displaying it correctly, but its “& amp ;” without spaces)

I went and edit that entry, changing the “&” for “and” and now its working.

So theres another bug to fix.

I update this, I thout it was working, but it only seems it is. Webmaster Tools gives me this.

Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

What to do ?

Thanks.

SOLVED, just replace the “&” with “and” in content. It will be fixed.

Hi,

I have the same error: This page contains the following errors:
error on line 2 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

I am running wordpress 3.5 and wordpress seo 1.3.4.1. I didn’t understand where I have to put “and” instead of “&” in the solution above.. can you explain better? Thanks a lot

Hi, i add to my previous comment: I am using WPML version 2.6.1 (last version) and I am running 2 languages. I am using WordPress SEO because it should work fine with WPML, creating sitemaps per languages.

If I hide the 2nd language in WPML I don’t have the error, while if I enable the 2nd language, there is this error. I don’t have any idea to solve alone..Please Help!!

Thanks!

Until a fix is added to the plugin, edit your posts that have “&” in the title, use “and” instead.

Cheers.

thanks for the answer…I had only on post with “&” in the title..i modified but I still continue to have the error.. do i have to moodify nly in the title or in all the content?
