   I went to Yahoo and set up an application ID and copied it into the Sitemaps plug-in, but every time I update my sitemaps, I get the following error:

   "There was a problem while notifying YAHOO"

   Now I noticed that when signing up for a Yahoo! application Id, they give you several options, and I chose the unauthenticated one. Is that wrong? Or is there something else going on with the plug-in?

   Google postings work fine.

   I get the same error message.
   Like technabob I also chose the generic unauthenticated option.

   Hi,

   could you tell me the response of the following page with your API key and sitemap url?

   http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=YOUR_API_KEY&url=YOUR_SITEMAP_URL

   Best regards,

   Arne

   I actually get a success message when I post directly:

   <Success>
   <Message>Update notification has successfully submitted.</Message>
   </Success>
   −
   <!--
   ws01.search.re2.yahoo.com compressed/chunked Thu Feb 1 06:23:19 PST 2007
   -->

   And now that I look at your plugin today, I see this message: "YAHOO was successfully notified about changes."

   So I'm assuming something was wrong on Yahoo!s end.

   Hello, there is a little update on the versioning inconsistences of this plugin ... I have updated the post.
