Sitemap file not being read properly

[Ekultek]

Is there a certain format the sitemap.xml file has to be in?

[stamparm]

Just tried and everything looks good. Nothing special with format. Only thing is that locations have to be inside <loc>....</loc> tags (You can find a reference at: https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html).

Please in future give more details. You already know that these kind of "this doesn't work" issues tend to be closed instantly.

Oh, yeah I was just curious about the format, I'll show you the error here in a few minutes got some stuff to do atm, I can tell you right now that the urls are enclosed inside of loc but the loc is closed inside of a site_url variation tag, (automatically generated). Do you think this could have anything to do with it?

So for example:

<site_urls>
  <loc>...</loc>
</site_urls>

[stamparm]

This should be ok. URL is extracted from inner-text of a <loc> tag

Well I'm not getting an error anymore (must have directed to the wrong area). However it is telling me that there is no usable links:

However in the sitemap:

Pushed that same sitemap content to sqlmap and there were no problems at all

Okay, thanks for the help
