upgrade 1.4.14 the site map didn’t work. now upgraded to 1.4.15 the sitemap shows on the web browser but there’s no file located in the webserver for the sitemap? does it generate a file?
I had the same problem but I made it work by going to the “XML Sitemaps” section in the settings and just hitting “Save” without changing anything and it now works. I made sure to click the “XML Sitemap” button at the top first, and that resulted in a 404 error. Once I clicked Save and tried it again, then it worked. ??
I have similar problems.
In Google webmasters tools I got an ‘sitemap not found errors’ on the sitemap. I tried to access the sitemap manually but also got 404 not found.
It works yesterday but start having problems today… Maybe caused by updates too as I don’t remember did I upgrade this plugin
In W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.2 or possibly older, go to Performance → Browser Cache, and then go to ’404 error exception list’ in the ‘General’ option block, and find this line:
sitemap(_index|[0-9]+)?\.xml(\.gz)?
OR this line:
sitemap\.xml(\.gz)?
and change it to:
(sitemapindex|[a-z0-9_-]+)\.xml
I did same and now sitemap showing to normal reders.
Ok… I have officially given up… I turned off this evil sitemap and turned on the one from BestWebSoft. With BestWebSoft, it generates the file (it is not dynamic) which is not what I wanted, but works… I had to edit for some client sites, too… but that was not the end of the world.
I have another client with the “older” version that I will not update… at least not unless someone proves this is fixed.
