I have a friend that is running Joomla & WordPress. You can see the content on the primary site + the blog but it appears that something in the .htaccess is preventing the site map and when I attempt to uncomment out the section that references .xml files, the entire site barks.
I do not know Joomla and struggle w/.htaccess. I know this forum is for the plugin but since I've used it on several sites w/no issues, I thought I'd ask for help. I'm desperate.
Here's the .htaccess -- (I added the rewrite rule to exclude the /Blog folder but not sure if I'm doing it correctly. Do I need a .htaccess file w/in the /Blog folder?
---------
RewriteRule ^(Blog|blog)($|/) - [L]
