 * Hi,
 * Thank you for this excellent plugin.
 * Please have a look at my index: [https://theyachtclub.sg/sitemap.xml](https://theyachtclub.sg/sitemap.xml)
 * This index is fine but the individual sitemaps listed inside returns a 404 error.
 * I went around and disabled plugins one by one until I found out the w3tc is the
   issue. The sitemaps inside work fine when this plugin is disabled. Do you have
   any idea what is the setting in this plugin that might produce this error?
 * Many thanks,
    Alan

 * I also noticed another thing: if my w3tc plugin is enabled but if I changed my
   permalink to “Plain”, it can work as well, but not with “Post name”.

 * Okay I found out the solution, just go to w3tc settings “Browser Cache” > “General”
   > Disable the option “Do not process 404 errors for static objects with WordPress”.
 * Hope this can help someone with the same issue!
