Hi, the contents of my site map is missing. This is happening alot.

google webmaster tools says webpages 68, indexed none.

This Sitemap was submitted Sep 11, 2013, and processed Dec 18, 2013. Sitemap content

1 Errors

Missing XML tag

This required tag is missing. Please add it and resubmit.

Ive checked utilities/sitemap.xml This is the content of that file..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
</urlset>

All settings in admin sitemap are active.

webmaster · 12-18-2013 09:42:40

Did you look at the sitemap.xml file in {public}/utilities? Is it complete?

robash · 12-19-2013 00:48:34

Yeh, this was the contents.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
</urlset>

At the minuet i have used an online sitemap generator and copied the contents in to utilities/sitemap.xml

Its happened a few times, i noticed search results dropping so ive checked webmaster tools and this seems to be the problem.

webmaster · 12-19-2013 11:42:49

Is this an intermittent issue, or is the sitemap basically blank every time it's generated?

robash · 12-19-2013 15:24:30

Its seems to be intermittent. I have contaced fasthost about it before but they cant see a problem.

Ive only checked when i notice my search results dropping on google so ive checked webmaster tools and there is an error with the sitemap. Its empty when checking utilities/sitemap.xml and via ftp. Strange.

webmaster · 12-20-2013 08:19:23

If it's intermittent, the issue is with the host. Possibly a DB issue. Either the software will generate everything in the map, or no map at all, unless there is a DB/hosting issue.

robash · 12-20-2013 12:04:29

Okay cheers nick i'll keep an eye on. Thanks

webmaster · 05-01-2014 10:07:19

Check your settings to make sure you have at least HTML pages, if not items and categories being written to the sitemap.

Malindo · 05-01-2014 17:39:25

Could you explain what setting ,you are talking about.The site running for some time with ccp8 and this issue happen on and off.I used to fix it with a sitemap back up. I need to find out what is really causing this ,could you help?

Thanks

Malindo · 05-02-2014 11:45:19

Thank you for your response,

Show HTML Pages in SiteMap is Selected true to display HTML pages in the Sitemap ever since it means that there is some thing wrong. The issue happened every now and then I used to sort it out by uploading a Sitemap backup but the problem is it not updated.Could look into that ?

Thanks
Malindo

Malindo · 05-02-2014 11:47:47

This now the new message error I get:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://bikocartridges.com/sitemap.xml
Line Number 2544, Column 50:<loc>http://www.bikocartridges.com/Item/BARRACUDA-GREEN-SATA-3GB/S-1TB-HD</loc>

Could you help??

Malindo · 05-02-2014 11:58:15

Thanks

We just spotted the problem it has to do with the links

Thanks for your help

webmaster · 05-05-2014 09:34:11

That's a problem with the SEO URL 'BARRACUDA-GREEN-SATA-3GB/S-1TB-HD' which has way too may special characters in it.

Sproz · 05-29-2014 11:28:02

I don't seem to be getting a sitemap, everything is ticked in the sitemap options but the sitemap is blank apart from the first couple of lines, I've replaced it with a web based generated xml file but would like the auto version to work.
Any ideas?

Graham · 05-30-2014 07:01:56

Try using the Raw SQL statement in to run a Cron job which should update the Sitemap.

Sproz · 05-30-2014 09:01:06

Thanks, that's updated it, will this be automatically done very 24hrs now? also interesting that the web generated sitemap had 350 pages reported in google webmaster but the CCP one only has 155? I guess the web based one submitted things that weren't needed?
Apologies for pinching the OP's thread.

webmaster · 06-06-2014 16:17:42

Yes, it will be generated every 24 hours.

I would guess Google has a bunch of old or duplicate pages indexed.

franconero · 11-07-2014 19:14:31

I have enable the generation of sitemap for my site but cannot see the file sitemap.xml in the utilities subfolder. What do I do?

webmaster · 11-10-2014 09:18:17

Wait until cron runs next (within 24 hours, or execute the following SQL statement to trigger cron):

UPDATE core_settings SET value=1 WHERE id LIKE '%.cron_%_last'
