   1) I was trying to switch to the Xml Sitemaps feature of WPSeo Yoast Plugin and yesterday everything seemed to work fine except for the author sitemap.

   Right now I'm getting a 404 error when i point to the index and to all the other sitemaps. http://www.meridianionline.org/sitemap_index.xml

   What's happened? And why the author sitemap wasn't working even when the others did.

   2) After the last update I'm struggling with the OpenGraph that was working just fine before retrieving my post image and showing the thumb in Facebook. Right now I get like 15/20 images when sharing a link and none of them is the post featured image...

   Any help guys?

   Thanks in advance
   Paolo

   This might be helpful when you try to debug the Open Graph problem: Facebook Debugger.

   If it doesn't work otherwise, you might want to check out Wonderm00n's Simple Facebook Open Graph Meta Tags, which sets og:image by these rules: "From post/page featured/thumbnail image, or if it doesn't exists from the first image in the post content, or if it doesn't exists from the first image on the post media gallery, or if it doesn't exists from the default image defined on the options menu."

   For sitemaps, this has gotten very good reviews and seems to work well: Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps (with sitemapindex and Multi-site support).

   The author sitemap IS working, the XSL isn't working for it though... Also: naming your custom taxonomy "author" is a BAD idea.

   Thanks Joost,
   I've just replied on the other post http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-xml-sitemap-missing?

   What do you mean by 'naming your custom taxonomy "author" is a BAD idea' ?

   Thanks again

   Well author is a term used in WP all the time, so it might collide with core or with other plugins, also the "slug" author is used for author pages, eg.:

   http://yoast.com/author/admin/

   etc.

   Yup but i don't have any "author" custom taxonomy...I've changed the slug from author to redazione because is pointless to have an english term in an italian url...
