Sitemaps Under sitemapindex show, but nothing inside (404 error)

    Jut installed this plugin to try if better than Google XML Sitemaps.

    It generates sitemapindex.xml, and I see the sitemaps under it. Testing the sitemapindex.xml under the Test tool in Google Webmaster tools shows no error, it passed.

    However, when I click on these sitemaps, there is nothing, and a 404 error is shown. Google Webmaster Tools also show the same thing, they can’t see anything.

    My WordPress blog is under another main domain – e.g. https://www.main_domain/my_wordpress_blog

    Thanks

    What do you mean by “under another main domain”? Is your sitemap hosted somewhere else? Please make sure that:

    1. Sitemaps are hosted under the same domain (same host, same port, same everything)
    2. Sitemaps actually have items. Just in case, in the the admin area you check post types/taxonomies you want to EXCLUDE, not what you want to include.

    Sorry, wrong wording. What I meant was my blog is within a main domain.

    E.g. https://www.maindomain.com/blog

    I know, of course I selected what to Exclude, I know it so well after testing Yoast Sitemap, Google XML Sitemap. Currently using Google XML Sitemap, but would really like to try BWP, as I also use the excellent BWP-Minify

    Anyway, even if I Exclude or not, there should be at least one that goes into a sitemap.

    I followed all instructions according to FAQ, as I use W3-Total Cache. Still not working.

    Why do I need to do all these, Yoast and Google XML Sitemaps are all automatic. Is it because you use a different filename for sitemap index ?

    Thanks

    I will try installing again later, no caches at all of any kind this time and we shall see.
