Just in case it helps, here’s a list of plugins I currently use.
UPDATE: This is weird. Initially the news sitemap was showing a 404 error page (generated by WordPress), but now, it shows up just fine — but there are no posts. So, in a way, the issues still stand.
Mine started off with 404 but now I get XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Also, in post view the link is not missing for me, but it is not clickable to view it.
UPDATE – 2: I just tried the development version… still no luck!
for now, it’s best just to go back to Version 1.1.9 and you’ll be back on Google News like before.
A few of us have been posting about this to no avail, but now that more and more people are posting, hopefully this will sent a signal to fix or just let us know what code snippet to add.
It’s odd that all the other tabs in edit work fine, just not the Google News one which we need to check so that’s the articles are added to Google News.
Or if you’re happy with the latest version, you can install XML Sitemap Feed Version 3.9.1 | By RavanH which also has a Google News site feed. Many news sites like The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline Hollywood and others use this plugin.
There’s a fix at least!
XML Sitemap Feed isn’t a great idea, I think, looking at its specs. So, I’ll will be staying away from it, and instead use an older version of WordPress SEO by Yoast itself for now. 🙂
404 errors on some sitemaps for me too. A simply click on update tab in SEO->Sitemap XML settings works for me at the moment, so map is visible again and I cand send it to google, but the error isn’t fixed. I do in this way in the meantime ’til the problem isn’t fixed.
I know, it kinda sucks since you want to just focus on publishing your articles and not having to continually check your sitemaps for errors!
Okay, there’s a new version. But what we need is an update for the News SEO module I think.

ah, I thought Yoast did that one too since he had instructed to install that back when WordPress SEO came out. Hopefully that developer will be able to update then.
Nothing like modules that don’t update together!
Gooma2 (or anyone) my News sitemap is still intact but it isn’t adding any new links to it, can someone send me a link to v. 1.1.9?
I’m also having the same issue.
