 * Using Google XML sitemaps 3.1.5 and WP 2.8.4 I get a completely blank page when
   I click on the settings page. The same was happening with 3.1.4 and I just upgraded.
 * Is there any easy solution, or should I delete and reinstall?
 * Thanks

 * My site either loads half way, or the header only with errors after i upgraded
   from 3.1.3 to 3.1.5. I had made a back up of my database before i upgraded, however,
   even with I uploaded my backup of my database the site was and is acting weird.
   Is there a solutiong to this? Please let me know. Thanks

   the Google Sitemap settings

 * Hi,
 * I tried several of your mentioned plugins and could not fond any problems. Do
   you have access to your web servers error logfile? Maybe we can find something
   there.

 * Hey there, I have the same problem; an empty configuration page. Funny thing 
   is, I have no other Plug-in running. I’m running WP 2.8.6.
 * I examined the source code an found, that the output was _interuppted_ as you
   can see:
 *     ```
       <div id="wpbody-content">
       <div id="screen-meta">
       	<div id="contextual-help-wrap" class="hidden">
       	<h5>Hilfe zu “XML-Sitemap Generator”</h5><div class="metabox-prefs"><a href="…">Plugin Homepage</a><br /><a href="…">Sitemap FAQ</a></div>
       <h5>Weitere Hilfe</h5><div class="metabox-prefs"><a href="…" target="_blank">Dokumentation</a> (<a href="…" target="_blank">en</a>)<br /><a href="…" target="_blank">WordPress Support-Foren</a> (<a href="…" target="_blank">en</a>)</div>
   
       	</div>
       ```
   
 * I’m willing to help, but I don’t know how to access the server logs (it might
   not be possible).

 * Hi,
    i’ve got the same blank configuration page problem. I’m on a fresh WordPress
   2.8.6 and i have no other plugin installed.
 * Of course i’ve set the chmod on the 2 sitemaps files at the wordpress root folder.
 * Is there a solution to that issue ?
 * Thank you

 * I’ve fixed my problem by forcing the PHP5 support (i’m on 1and1).
 * I had that line in the .htaccess file :
    `AddType x-mapp-php5 .php`
 * Hope it will help other users
 * Thx

 * Hi,
 * Great, thats a good hint! Maybe its a PHP4 problem. I’ve tested only with PHP
   4.4.9, so could somebody of you find out which PHP version is installed on your
   server?

 * Hi Arnee, (great plug-in btw)
 * I just checked via `phpinfo()` and I also have 4.4.9 – however after forcing 
   php5 (Thanx Concerto!) it seems to be working.
 * May be there is some buggy php4 function in use, I havn’t lookes at the code.
 * So a **solution** may be to **force php5**.
