New sitemap_index.xml not being generated

  • Hello,

    after update to 4.1 the sitemap_index.xml is not being generated (404 when loading).

    I am using W3 Total Cache and Cloudflare, don’t know where is the problem.

    What I have noticed also is that if I uncheck the “Check this box to enable XML sitemap functionality.” and Save XML settings, when the page refresh it is activated again and with the box checked.

    Before v4.1 worked fine, is there any settings verification I should do to find the problem?

    BTW,
    I was using this code before in .htaccess

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.com/$1/ [L,R=301]

    and worked fine. Now I have had to remove it because it was adding / at the end of sitemap_index.xml. Even after removing it, the sitemap is not generated yet.

    BR

    You probably have the part in W3 Total Cache Browser Cache active that says to not handle 404’s for static files within WordPress? If so, add this exception:

    sitemap(_index)?\.xml

    Hi,

    now there is a new problem. In the index it generates

    post-sitemap1.xml and post-sitemap2.xml and the same thing happens (btw, post-sitemap.xml works but doesnt appear in the index).

    If I add them to the browser cache exception it works. But how would be the regular expression?

    post-sitemap(.*).xml ?????

    Thanks a lot for your feedback!!!

    ah right ??

    let’s cut it into two exceptions:

    sitemap_index\.xml
sitemap([0-9]+)?\.xml

    i also have the same issue and adding them lines doesn’t make any difference. Checking my site files the sitemap files aren’t being created anywhere.. ??
