Hi guys,
I recently worked with a friend of mine to design my website. They did the coding etc, I did the design. Unfortunately this means I've got a lot to learn about the back end.
I'm trying to set up Sitelinks in Webmaster, and I've activated XML Sitemap Generator. At first I was getting the following error message:
There was a problem writing your sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and is writable.
There was a problem writing your zipped sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and is writable.
I read a quick fix that suggested altering the slashes in the detected/custom path from:
http://www.dandylad.com/sitemap.xml
To:
http:\\www.dandylad.com\sitemap.xml
I made those changes in the custom field, which changes the detected path and the error messages no longer appear.
However, when I click on the links to the xml file, using either path, I reach a blank page. I think there should be code on the page correct? Which I need to plug in to Webmaster to activate Sitelinks.
What can I do?
