Hi Chris,

I am facing same problem as silverpurple-
“Unsupported Sitemap format
Your Sitemap uses a News format that is no longer supported for newly-submitted sitemaps. Please update to the new format, which involves attaching a <publication> tag and other relevant tags to each url in your Sitemap.”

I have upgraded and using latest version of google news sitemap plugin.

Kindly help and resolve the issue ASAP

Thanks & Regards

Hi Chris,

I found the problem and did the necessary changes to my blog. Now there is no problem and everything is working fine.

What i did?
I installed a plugin called smart update pinger. This plugin tells us that which sites pinged successfully and which are having problem. I removed the list of the ping services that were giving problem and now everything is working perfect.

Regards
Vicky

Hi Chris,

Still waiting for you reply…. Kindly revert….

Hi Chris,

Here is what i face each time i publish a new article in my wordpress site.

After Clicking on the publishing Button The Google News sitemap plugin generates Correct Sitemap for the first time. But after few seconds around 10-30 seconds. The plugin again generated a new sitemap in wrong format like this –
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<urlset xmlns=”https://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9&#8243;
xmlns:news=”https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9″&gt;
</urlset>

To correct the sitemap then a again update my post that i just published. So after updating sitemap again generates in the correct format. So i have to update each post again after publishing so that sitemap rebuild again in correct format. I hope i am more clear now.

Following are the plugins that i am currently using
All in One SEO
FeedBurner
Google News Sitemap
Register Plus
SexyBookmarks
Smart Ads
Smart Update Pinger
Vote the Post
Who Is Online
PostViews
WP-SpamFree

XML-Sitemap

Kindly let me know if anything else required.

Vicky
