 * The sitemap link provided by you takes to your home page, not 404. Try uploading
   a sitemap to your root.

 * I’ve also the same problem:
 * [http://www.site.com/sitemap.xml](http://www.site.com/sitemap.xml) works perfectly
 * while
 * [http://site.com/sitemap.xml](http://site.com/sitemap.xml) doesent work
 * My guess is that the problem lies in wordpress that in the 2 nd case does not
   redirect the call to the google-sitemap-generator plugin
