Hello! Thank you for your plugin!!! The only thing is, that my sitemap.xml has not markup. I cant find any error or something! May you can help with this! Thanks a lot

Yes, this is a known issue. The sitemap follows the recommendations from google https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en&visit_id=636866786973497523-1860492156&rd=1. I tried to solve this problem following the accepted solution in this stackoverflow link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51923627/xml-sitemap-rendering-as-plain-text, but when I did it, google didn't accept the sitemap. So yes it's an open issue. If anyone knows how to solve it, the repo is totally open to pull requests :)

Hello! I think I have found the error.

you have this code in your models/sitemap.php

protected function makeUrlSet()
    {
        if ($this->urlSet !== null) {
            return $this->urlSet;
        }

        $xml = $this->makeXmlObject();
        $urlSet = $xml->createElement('urlset');
        $urlSet->setAttribute('xmlns', 'https://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9');
        $urlSet->setAttribute('xmlns:xhtml', 'https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml');
        $urlSet->setAttribute('xmlns:xsi', 'https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance');
        $urlSet->setAttribute('xsi:schemaLocation', 'https://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd');

        return $this->urlSet = $urlSet;
    }

I have changed the URL's to https and now i works fine for me.

You absolutelly rule! Thank you very much! We will update the plugin ASAP :)

Fixed! Thanks again

Unfortunately, the https fix is not correctly parsed by google search console so I had to remove it :(

I got exactly the same error. Strange I looked, you made changes, but still there was the same problem. I have now changed in the file models/Sitemap.php In method generateSitemap($protocol = 'https') http to https And of course replaced the property protected $protocol = 'https'; http to https Everything works fine

Personnally, even with the https fix, I still see the sitemap as raw text

Hi Publipresse, do you see this sitemap https://utopigstudio.com/sitemap-debug.xml as raw text? I see it perfectly in firefox and chrome also

I thought I had this same problem, but when I checked I found that the XML file just appeared like plain text, but was actually valid XML.

It seems that the file definition to enable multiple languages somehow messes up the human display in the browser.
