Thread: Sitemap errors with job categories and job type

Sitemap errors with job categories and job type

Hi there,

I am using the Wordpress SEO by Yoast plugin to SEO-optimize my website. I noticed in Googles webmaster tools that two of my sitemaps show errors, these are job_cat-sitemap.xml and job_type-sitemap.xml. When you click on these file you are redirected to the website instead of showing the sitemap.

How could I remove these errors and make the contents visible to Google? Do I need another plugin to make this work or is this an error on my site?

Many thanks in advance for your support!

Hello,

It could have something to do with the settings of the plugin you are using as I have tested a different xml and it works just fine.

Anyway, I am moving this thread to the Plugin Exchange section for community support.

Cheers.

Thank you for this initial analysis, jomarkosabel!

Which plugin do you use for creating the xml files in Jobroller?

Cheers, rocketjo

Any recommendations?

I have tried the Google XML Sitemap plugin with the same results: The job categories and job types are not showing up. Please have a look here at my sitemap:

When you click on job_cat-sitemap.xml or job_type-sitemap.xml you are redirected to the actual website which creates the errors in Google webmaster tools. What could cause this error?

Any idea where this issue could originate from?

OK, I have found the solution. For some reason I had to individually select each taxonomy in the two categories and choose "always include" under "include in sitemap". Now the job categories and job types are showing in the sitemap

Thanks for sharing your findings rocketjo as it will surely help others who have the same setup.

Have a nice day.
