Hi! Can someone help me with this xml error. I am using wordpress yoast SEO
`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="//anyone
It does sound like the Yoast SEO plugin is causing problems. Yoast is a good SEO plugin, but I know from experience it can cause problems with your site.
if you switch to all in one SEO plugin it may fix the problem
Hi - look in the root of your directory, eg, yourdomain.com/sitemap_index.xml
Also, as it's generated by the SEO plugin - can you confirm what version you're using? That first character obviously shouldn't be there - so if the plugin is adding it, it may not be up to date.
Cheers, Mark
I just updated to 1.5.4.2 this morning. Not sure how to access the root of my directory. Is it something I can do safely without messing everything up, or do I need to let the experts handle it?
Thanks for trying very hard to help me. I did everything suggested. Yoast SEO was correctly set up, the right parameters are enabled/disabled, I deactivated and then activated. I have waited 1 full day to see if it will be able to regenerate a new sitemap, but it's not.
I am getting a "Page not found error now". The character, ` shows at the top left corner of my wordpress dashboard. That's the same character that's at the beginning of the initial xml error message. Looks like that character is being automatically inserted in front of my tags and seo titles.

I actually switched from the All in One SEO to Yoast. I couldn't get the sitemap submitted on Google or Bing Websmaster Tools. I actually got it submitted and working right with Yoast. Make sure that the sitemap is activated, then type in yourdomain .com/sitemap.xml.
When I typed it in Webmaster, I didn't put index in it. I think it comes up with your domain name, then you select the button to submit sitemap. So you just type in sitemap.xml after your domain. Also on your Yoast dashboard, there is blue click here to see your sitemap. It should list your sitemap on your site when you click on it.
