Sitemap broke? Saying XML Parsing Error: junk after document element

Do you have <?php wp_footer(); ?> right before the </body> tag in your theme’s footer page? Does it work using the twentyfifteen theme?

Hi yes I do. It doesn’t matter what theme I use. It says the same for any theme I use.

Any ideas?

Hi idealmin, looking at the source code of your sitemap.xml (Ctrl+u) I see this appended at the bottom:

<div style="position:fixed; top:0;bottom:0; left:0; right:0; background:rgba(0,0,0,0.4); z-index:2000; color:#fff; font-size:20px; text-align:center;" >
<div style="position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%);padding:10px;  background:rgba(0,0,0,0.7);">
Your theme does not call <code>wp_footer()</code> in the footer. You should not remove that because JavaScript files will not function.
</div></div>

The same code is appended to your normal RSS feed on https://frivgamesarcade.com/feed/ causing the same error.

I have no idea where that HTML code is coming from but it certainly explains the error. Try deactivating other plugins and if you find the one causing it report it as a bug with that plugins dev. It shouldn’t be too hard to prevent this code from being inserted where it does not belong.

Okay cheers. I got it working by disabling everything and starting with this plugin only.

Found out whats causing it. Its breaking when I do Category Mapping in MyArcadePlugin settings page to map the feeded cats to my WP cats when fetching and importing games. It must be doing something to theme footer or something. Will inform them about it see if they can fix.

Thanks for your time time and help and thanks for plugin too!

My bad. It’s not fixed. Still happening for my pages sitemap.
Have disabled all plugins accept it and using default theme even 2013 but /sitemap-posttype-page.xml is broke https://frivgamesarcade.com/sitemap-posttype-page.xml

What could that be?

Thanks!
