Sitemap Generator Forum

Sorry this is in the wrong category; I noticed my email was being published on the web and deleted my account before I realised I could turn it off (stupid me).


First, let me say how wonderful the app is. I've set it up on my websites with a cron job, and it's going to save hours and hours of my time. Wonderful!

I did have one little issue though...

Bug report:
I have a website that uses Japanese in the URLs, and the sitemap generated has corrupted these Japanese characters into latin characters. I've opened the sitemap in a unicode editor and it can't be converted back into Japanese characters. I write web pages in Japanese, so I know what should work.

Here's some URLS:
Site: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Sitemap: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

For a Japanese URL, go to this page:
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
And click the link at the bottom of the page named "View large map for more...".

I hope you know how to fix it!

PS
If you want to make me a paid user account again so I can post on the correct forum, that would be great!

Hello,

all links in xml sitemap are "urlencoded' according to sitemaps protocol: [ External links are visible to logged in users only ]
So, you should not open it in text editor, but submit to search engines instead to check that it's parsed correctly: [ External links are visible to logged in users only ]

Oleg,

I've uploaded it to Google's webmaster tools and it seems to be working - I'll post here If I see any further errors.

Thanks for your help! Great tool!
