 * Hello
 * I’m using the seo plugin 2.2.1 for a while and never had any issues with the 
   sitemaps.
 * But lately I saw that google webmaster has errors on all my sitemaps published.
 * **General HTTP error: 404 not found HTTP Error: 404**
    _We encountered an error
   while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines
   and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit._
 * Also when I go to the plugins menu – SEO, XML-Sitemaps and click on the “XML-
   Sitemap” button, the website gets a 404 page not found error: [http://www.alle-gewinnspiele.ch/sitemap_index.xml](http://www.alle-gewinnspiele.ch/sitemap_index.xml)
 * It’s rather strange, as it worked and suddenly something broke.
 * I removed the plugin and installed it again…. still the problem remains.
 * Any help appreciated
    Thanks

 * Sorry… bad day 🙂
    Deactivated IT-Security and after reactivation the problem
   was gone.
