Thanks for this important information Pj. Had issues on my other site outside of WA and I'll try this!

Thank you so much for creating this training, PJ. I know I have some sitemap errors that need fixed, and you have just made it very easy on me! I have been avoiding a few problems, but your training is too easy to follow and understand. No more excuses. You are officially in my bookmarks. Thanks again. :)
