Empty sitemap for custom post type

    Dear Arne,

    I’m using Google XML Sitemap 4.0.8 (GXS). Thank you for this very useful plugin!

    I’m facing a weird issue here. I have a custom post type (manuals) and some pages under it. This CPT is of the type page/hierarchic.

    The sitemap works fine for all other pages/posts, but for this manuals CPT, it’s empty.

    It doesn’t appear in the sitemap root (https://www.edok.com.br/sitemap.xml), but I know it exists because, besides enabling manuals CPT on GXS settings, when running the debug mode I can see the link and expected pages for the CPT.

    But the sitemap itself is empty, as you can see at:

    https://www.edok.com.br/sitemap-pt-manuals-2016-03.xml

    GXS debug recognizes 13 entries in this sitemap alone.

    At first, I thought this issue could be related to this post, but it’s not. All my custom posts have post_date_gmt properly set.

    I’ve already messed with all CPT definitions possible. None made it 13 pages to appear in the sitemap.

    Do you have any idea on what I’m doing wrong?

    Thank you in advance.

    Best,

    Deny Dias.

    EDIT: I know I can add the missing pages manually. I really don’t want to do that, as this CTP is an ever growing one.

    I’m sorry for not providing further information before:

    WordPress 4.4.2 under nginx

    Plugins modifying output:

    Autoptimize 2.0.0
    W3 Total Cache 0.9.4.1
    Yoast SEO 3.1 (sitemap function disabled)
    Pods 2.6.1 (this one implements the CPT I’m facing issues with.)

    The CPT is registered with a custom rewrite to suporte/manual.

    Just to let you know: CPTs not appearing within sitemaps is solved.

    To improve site performance and response times, I use Plugin Organizer plugin to selectively loads plugins only where they are required.

    I did some mess with the filters and Pods was not loaded at the moment that the sitemap function from any of the plugins I’ve tried (Yoast SEO and Google XML Sitemaps) was looking for content.

    Although the CPT appears fine under any of the plugin’s sitemap settings in admin so I can select it, they were just not ready in the frontend, hence the problem. My bad.

    I fixed that and everything is working fine now. ??

    I’m sorry for bother you, Arne.

    Thank you and have a nice week.
