   Just stop the page in your web browser and then check that the sitemap file has been created using FTP. This has been a problem since the last-but-one version. Previously the first manual generation appeared to hang (although, again, the sitemap file was created correctly). My guess is that, in an attempt to stop that happening, the new version now goes into an infinite loop.

   It's just a problem with the first manual sitemap generation as far as I know. All auto-generated updates appear to run smoothly.

   I have the same problem. Can you be more specific in detailing how to check if the file was created properly. Thanks.

   To fix it, I followed the instructions here:

   plugin help

   I created two blank text files, named them sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz, put them in my root folder, chmod/changed permissions to make them writable -- then I went back into the Plugin page and clicked the link to manually re-generate the sitemap -- worked fine, stopped the infinite looping.
