I am using Standalone Sitemap Generator on a small site that only has ten pages on the sitemap and has been up and working for over a year with a xml sitemap, no problems.
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
I added a couple of pages and resubmitted the sitemap via Google Webmaster Tools and no matter what I do I get the RED X and the following error:
"
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit."
I have reworked the robots.txt file and verified the robots file through verification scripts. I have redone the sitemap and verified the sitemap through three different verification scripts, and I still get the same error. I might add that I have five different sitemaps up with this script and NO PROBLEMS.
I have checked the logs and it shows that Google is getting it and Google is saying there is a problem.
ANYONE with an answer? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jay
