Sitemap-Creation problems  en

Author: Aristotelis Biliouris

Dear Sirs,

Checking my website http://www.irishellas.com with google webmasters tools, there are errors in the creation of sitemap.

I suppose that the problem is because i have upgraded from older versions of website, because when i create the same web page from the begging the problem seams that is solved for this page. With just a copy paste of the web page the problem exists.

Also i notice that the messase has to do with 6 lines every time http://www.irishellas.com/sitemap.xml e.g.

error on line 1669 at column 78: EntityRef: expecting ';'

error on line 1663 at column 78: EntityRef: expecting ';'

error on line 1657 at column 78: EntityRef: expecting ';'

etc.

Is there an easy way to solve the problem? or i have to create again from the begining my whole website page by page?

Regards

Hello Aristotelis,

You get this error because on http://www.irishellas.com/high_resistance_to_chemicals_&_cleaners.html you used in the filename &. Replace it in the file name in step 2 in the properties of the page since the sitemap.xml file is not accepting it for the xml standard.

Many thanks!

Dear Claudio,

Till now a manage to solve the problem in some web pages but its imposible to do it to the whole website

What i have done is

1. Create a new page

2. Copy everything, object by object, image by image etc from the old page to the new one (when i try to copy directly the page, it doesnt worked..)

3. Deleting the old page

So, is there an easy way? because the problem exists almost to all my website !

Now i m at "line 1605 at column 78: EntityRef: expecting ';'

Thank you in advanced!

Dear Claudio,

Without the correct sitemap, all my website pages are missing from google search engine!

I really believe its Webisite bag, since my other web sites with older versions have NO problems !

Waiting for your solution

Hello Aristotelis,

Go in step 2 and then rename the name of the page by removing the & and using as example "and".

To the same for every page where you used in the page name &.

Once done export it again online.

Many thanks!

Dear Claudio,

I have change tha name,without the "&" symbol, and it works.

But the problems still exist.

I m attaching you the sitemap.xml file

As you can see, there is problem almost to every page, every image etc ! (The pages & images dont include the "&"symbol. 

Also i notice that there is problem even to images, that i havent chacked them to be in the sitemap.

I m telling you once again, that this happened after the last updates ! 

Pls do something, its really ungent as the pages are missing from google search !

Regards
