birdog123 on "[Plugin: Yoast SEO] Getting 404 errors and misc with XML sitemaps WP multisite"

This just worked for me (but what do you think about Yoast including a enable or disable feature to do effectively the same thing for folks having similar future problems)?

Also, should this be considered a long term fix? I don't see a problem with it but just wanted your feedback on it . . . smile?

Here is the fix:

Hey there,

I would 95% guarantee this will work for you. Although, I would like to here from Yoast to see if they could sometime rollout a fix on there end that folks could enable or disable as needed perhaps to fix this for everyone. It looks like a lot of people have it. It may have been a WP core update, some plugin, etc. All I know is it worked on over 10 WP sites I have (all different themes and plugins just now):

Afterwards, go wp-admin/options-permalink.php and resave your permalinks.

Also, you may have to go to your Yoast XML sitemaps too and unchecked the XML sitemaps tick box>save>and then recheck it>save.

Let me know . . .

:)

P.S. I procured the fix from here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-line-3-at-column-6-xml-declaration-allowed-only-at-the-start-of-the-do?replies=8
