The plugin author should remove 5.0 from the repository.
I looked at the upgrade code and the main thing 5.0 did there was delete the ‘gn-genre’ taxonomy terms and replace it with a new taxonomy ‘xmlsf_taxonomies’.
Probably a good option to delete when going between versions in this SNAFU situation is ‘xmlsf_version’ in wp_options if you have access to PHPMyAdmin. Otherwise, you can temporarily put delete_option( 'xmlsf_version' ) in your theme’s functions.php file.
Also, flush rewrite rules by visiting Dashboard / Settings / Permalinks. Just visiting that admin page flushes the rules.

Hi, there was a weird situation during the push to SVN where some files where rejected (seems XML source was perceived by a commit hook as PHP and thus caused a parse error) so I fear some people have received in incomplete upgrade package.
Is there a more specific error in your server log files that could tell what has gone wrong?
What I see for xml-sitemap-feed/languages/ now is:
Version 4.9.4: 19 files
Version 5.0: 19 files
Version 5.0.1: folder missing
Hi Aaron, please let me know if you find anything in the error log file. I really cannot seem to figure this remaining issue with PHP 5.4 out…
UPDATE: Think I found them all. 5.0.2 should be PHP 5.4 compatible. If you find any more issues, please let me know 🙂
I still can’t see the category options either in composition or quick edit.
@ravanh sorry for the late reply. I couldn’t find anything in our error logs, however updating to 5.0.2 I can confirm that you have fixed it!
One thing I did notice however is that the plugin flagged our static robots.txt for deletion, not sure if that’s a bug or intentional, just thought I’d give you a heads up.
Looking forward to exploring the new features/settings area.
Thanks for the feedback 🙂
The static robots.txt warning can be ignored if you wish to keep your static robots.txt file. But you may also decide to delete the file and let WordPress generate a dynamic robots.txt for you. In that case, you can add your custom robots rules in the field “Additional robots.txt rules” on Settings > Reading.
