    Default Google reports that my Sitemap has no URLs??

    Zen version 1.3.8a
    Sitemap (latest version)

    I posted this in a related thread, but got no responses. Really need help resolving so any guidance most appreciated.

    Getting this error from Google after submitting sitemap:
    "Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap."

    ?
    The sitemap seems to have been created , see here:
    http://www.cvtreasures.com/googlesitemap.php


    Update to above:

    Each file below installed, but only sitemaptestimonials.xml is loading without error. For Others Google webmaster reports NO URLs even though for example product.xml reported over 1200 product URLs loaded into it when generated sitemap in Zen Admin.

    sitemapcategories.xml -- -- -- Jun 12, 2009
    sitemapezpages.xml -- -- -- Jun 12, 2009
    sitemapproducts.xml -- -- -- Jun 12, 2009
    sitemaptestimonials.xml -- -- -- Jun 12, 2009

    I'd recommend you install this mod from the download area above:

    It's spot on and it will have your sitemaps up and running with Google in no time.

    Other than that, have you opened your sitemap.xml files and inspected them? It sounds like they may be empty.

    Default Re: Google reports Sitemap has no URLs??

    Thanks, I will take your suggestion and try the older mod version.
    My xml files are all FULL of URLs. For example, my sitemapproducts.xml has over 1000 URLs in it. BUt, as previously mentioned Google webmaster status error states NO URLs in that file. So, maybe there is a file code corruption issue?

    P.S. In the readme.doc for this mod steps 3 & 4 below. Step 4 is straight forward but what parameters need to be setup for step 3?

    3. Go to Admin->Configuration->Google Sitemap Configuration and setup all parameters
    4. Go to Admin->Tools>Google XML Sitemap (If error messages occur, change permissions on the XML files to 777);

    Thanks
