XML Sitemap Multiple URL entries
 

The sitemap generated has the same url listed multiple times. I would believe Google find this in error and may affect indexing. Can this be fixed?

Hi!

The XML sitemap at the given link seems OK to me.
What is the URL that is duplicated in the file?

here is just one, every main category has at least 3 duplicates

Hm, looks weird.

I'm not sure if this is something that we can guess in these forums without the on-server debugging.
Please contact our support staff so that the could check it right on your server:

Hi!

I just checked the problem and could replicate the problem on default X-Cart. I have passed it to the team.

Thank you for the report!
