Hello! I’m trying to submit my sitemap and I’m watching videos that show extra code on their sitemaps that I do not have. It seems like my sitemap is missing pictures as well as maybe any “parent” code? Below is what it looks like when I type in my website and then sitemap.xlm. Is something missing on mine? This is literally all that shows up as a sitemap for me. Thank you!
