  Hi. today i upgraded my domain (registered and mapped it) and now my sitemap at google webmaster has gone bonkers. A big red cross appears next to it. Various links are listed and against each, the following error message is noted: URL not allowed. This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location.

  I checked the links manually and they work. I tried resubmitting it too but no success. What do i do? thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  figured out the issue. i had to register a new website at google webmaster (the registered and mapped domain) and add the sitemap against that.

  Yay! I’m glad you sorted that. :) I’ll post the link to the verification entry so when this is pulled out of the searchbox the next blogger can locate the entry quickly http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
