-Tag missing in Google-Webmaster-Tools

  • Hi,
    I installed your plugin and activated the Google-News extension along with the regular configuration.

    Therefore I included the /sitemapindex.xml to the Google-Webmaster-Tools sitemap page. Now /post_google_news.xml works fine without any errors or warnings.

    But for /page.xml, /post.xml, /taxonomy_category.xml and /taxonomy_post_tag.xml I get errors for every entry saying “<publication>-Tag missing …” and “<publication>-Tag … wrong genre …”.

    So this would absolutely makes sense from the point of view that all sitemaps but /post_google_news.xml have no <publication>-tag included. But Google should use /post_google_news.xml as Google-News source only.

    Any idea why Google-Webmaster tools expect the <publication> tag for all other sitemaps listed above and complains about it?

    Thanks you

    Invalid publication label

The publication label that you selected when submitting this Sitemap does not correspond to a known publication in the Google News database. To find the current publication name and language, please check your articles as they appear in Google News. Please include this publication information in your Sitemap by updating to the new format, which involves attaching a <publication> tag and other relevant tags to each url in your Sitemap.

    and 

    Missing <publication> tag

Each url in a News Sitemap must have a <publication> tag.

    only the Google News sitemap works correct, all other sitemaps produce the errors above.

    Here are the Screenshots

    It’s weird that Google is considering post.xml, page.xml and some others as news sitemaps.

    Can I have the link to your post.xml sitemap?

    Also, can you try removing those sitemaps with errors and resubmit them?

    Same here, my post sitemap is ok when i test, but when i send to Search Console i get these messages:

    “The publication label that you selected when submitting this Sitemap does not correspond to a known publication in the Google News database.

    “Each url in a News Sitemap must have a <publication> tag.”

    “At least one URL in your Sitemap is on a host that is not in the Google News database. Google News can only accept Sitemaps from hosts that we crawl. If your site is crawled by Google News, please check that the URL of your Sitemap agrees with the URLs of your articles as they appear on Google News, including any leading “www”.”

    That’s weird, could it be that you’re submitting your post.xml sitemap to Google News? Can you post a screenshot of the error you’re seeing?
