Re: search console and sitemap error

The first thing to check is those lines of your sitemap to see if anything is obviously wrong.

Otherwise, the search console can be very fussy, especially with the time zone information.

If your site doesn’t update several times during the day ( e.g. like a news site or forum), you probably don’t need down to the minute lastmod information and could simply do:

<lastmod><txp:modified format="%Y-%m-%d" /></lastmod>

That gives you:

<lastmod>2024-10-13</lastmod>

which is accepted more easily…
