I have been using your unlimited sitemap tool successfully for a couple of years. Since the sitemaps are now separated and use an index, I am getting the error message shown after my name. These errors cause Google sitemaps not to work.
I have tried removing extra instances of <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, but the maps still don't work.
Please advise what I may do and why it appears your automated sitemaps are intruducing unneeded lines of XML. Thanks.
