 * I updated on the last version of your plugin and now it is unable to create sitemaps.
   When I click the button XML Sitemap, a site opens. There is this error:
 * This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 1 at column 1: Document
   is empty Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
 * Also in my category sitemap is a category VIDEO with an URL [http://Video](http://Video)
   and I have no idea, why your plugin does that.
 * Otherwise thanks, its a great plugin.
