I'm having an issue where I'm submitting my sitemap, too bad I keep this omitted error:
Unsupported file format
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.
I followed the sitemap guidelines and error reporting types:
This is what my sitemap looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://mywebsite.com/home</loc>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.2</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://mywebsite.com/feedback</loc>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.2</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://mywebsite.com/search</loc>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.2</priority>
</url>
</urlset>
It seems fine enough, so I re-submitted it and then it returned the same error, that my sitemap is unsupported.
The sitemap has a application header of text/xml
if changed to application/xml
, it still won't work. What is causing this error?
