DNN SiteMap.aspx Creating Invalid SiteMap 

I have noticed many users on a default DotNetNuke 4.5 and 4.5.1 installation mentioning errors when using the DotNetNuke built in sitemap generator for use with Google.  If you are receiving errors aftr submitting your sitemap to Google, check the error logs that are generated.  If the error states that it is invalid to have a link to http://www.dotnetnuke.com inside your sitemap, you can do the following to fix the issue.

1. Login to your site as host
2. From the "Host" menu select "Host Settings"
3. Under the "Appearance" setting uncheck the box next to "Show Copyright Credits"
4. Click "Update" to save your settings

This simple change to remove the DNN Copyright information will fix your sitemap by removing the link to DotNetNuke.com, it will also remove the DNN version information from each page title as displayed in the browser.
