I have one of the sitemaps in my site with formatting issues and I want to regen it because that formatting issue is causing problems indexing those videos.
Here’s a working video sitemap: https://inspenet.com/video-sitemap.2024-02.xml
And this is the one with formatting issues: https://inspenet.com/video-sitemap.2024-03.xml

Hello Francesco,
The issue appears to be with one of your video post. It appears to be a custom post type
video-tv. Here’s the exact link: https://inspenet.com/?post_type=video-tv&p=138459Please log in as administrator and open that link, then click to edit the post. There you should be able to verify that it’s really published and that it does not have some access restriction.
Based on your findings we can improve our XML sitemaps. Although we already check if the post is published or not, so that post should not be included in the XML sitemap in the first place.
Thanks,
Martinthank you, that did it. By the way is there any way to avoid fvplayer from adding some videos to the video sitemap? I have some videos that are not meant to be indexed or crawlable (like some elementor templates) but I don’t see a way to keep them from being added to the sitemaps
Hello Francesco,
Please let us know if you also use a standard website sitemap.
Are these pages are excluded from that sitemap properly?
We would like to make sure our video sitemaps respect such exclusion settings too.
Thanks,
MartinI’m using RankMath SEO and as far as I know elementor templates are automatically excluded from the sitemap, but since I believe FV Player detects posts in which a FV Player video was used and then adds it to the sitemap I don’t have a way to exclude it using its post ID
Hello Francesco,
I excluded the Elementor Template post type (
elementor_library).Could you please reinstall FV Player from this link? https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.zip
If it works for you, we can make it part of the next FV Player release.
Thanks,
MartinYes this did work and excluded it from the video sitemap, thank you for your work, and all the work the team does for the plugin
