    We have an xml validation error on one of the sitemaps created by Yoast. It’s caused by the ampersand delimeter of the url args for one of our images.

    Any advice?


    https://nohma.com/post-sitemap.xml
    339:142The reference to entity “_i” must end with the ‘;’ delimiter.

    Hello @nomadicdev,

    Thanks for reaching out about your sitemap. Though the post sitemap is visually blank, the stylesheet works and the source code is fine with content. This means there’s an issue applying the stylesheet.?

    You mentioned that it’s related to the ampersand delimeter. Since your setup used the Cloudinary plugin, all images in your media gallery are mapped to your Cloudinary image server, so we might not specifically be able to test this service and reproduce them in our default test environment.

    We previously received a similar user-reported issue regarding a bug related to ‘&’ encoding on the sitemap for those images served from a third-party image CDN. Our developer did some research and found the plugin devs are doing it for some purpose, but this basically prevents esc_url() to do anything to image URLs when they come from Imgix/Media Cloud.

    Please reach out to Cloudinary devs and point to?this explanation,?as they may have additional information vital to providing a resolution.
