Yoast SEO - Not Generating Sitemaps (2 posts)

    Hey everyone. I had been using Yoast SEO for some time now on my blog. However as of the 19th, it suddenly stopped working. Funny enough, that is when i upgraded to WP 3.3, and its also when I upgraded Yoast SEO to the newest version. When I attempt to go to the sitemap-index.xml file, I get a 404.

    I've looked for an explanation but haven't really found one other than modifying my htaccess file. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Yoast SEO. I've also disabled all plugins EXCEPT Yoast SEO and had the exact same problem. I can't seem to find where the XML files are supposed to be located so I can check permissions. I'd really like to get this fixed. On his own forums, the author hasn't had much to say other than creating a post about people using W3 total cache causing this, which I'm not using so it doesn't apply.

    I'm also not using any custom post types.

    My site is http://www.whatscookinglehighvalley.com, and the sitemap SHOULD be at http://www.whatscookinglehighvalley.com/sitemap_index.xml.

    Weird, I think I fixed it. I deactivated ALL plugins, then uninstalled yoast SEO. While keeping everything deactivated, I re-enabled Yoast SEO. Then I enabled, disabled, and re-enabled sitemap XML. Then I re-enabled all the rest of my plugins, and it suddenly worked just fine.

    Weird! Hopefully this helps someone.
