404 error on /ml-slider-sitemap.xml in Google Webmaster Tools

    I’ve submitted a site map on behalf of a client on Google Webmaster Tools. Everything is working fine except for /ml-slider-sitemap.xml. It’s getting a 404 error:

    When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot due to an HTTP status error. All accessible URLs will still be submitted.

    I’ve tried to exclude the ML Slider by going to SEO>XML Sitemaps and ticked Meta Slider under ‘Exclude Post Types’, but to no avail. I’ve also got W3 Total Cache installed but I don’t quite know how to use it properly.

    Here is the site:

    Actually, I just pressed the ‘XML Sitemap’ button after I ticked off Meta Slider, and it works now. I wasn’t really paying attention properly before. :/

    But what I’d like to know is does it matter if the Meta Slider’s sitemap still appears in Google Webmaster Tools? I’ve just started using GWT, so I’m not completely certain on how everyting works.

    Hi there,

    Disabling Meta Slider from the sitemap won’t affect the SEO at all as any text from slides are indexed as part of the page that they are displayed on.

    Thanks,
    Dave
