 * Hi Guys
    I have a problem with Yoast when using category and tag sitemaps. I 
   am currently on the latest version of Yoast 1.4.19 and I am using it with the
   Magazon theme.
 * If I get Yoast to build a tag site map it is adding the following on the end 
   of each item ?paged=x where x = a page number
    [http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/tag/designer?paged=4](http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/tag/designer?paged=4)
 * It should be writing
    [http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/tag/designer](http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/tag/designer)
 * If i use category site map i get the further issues. It is creating categories
   that i do not even have but not listing any of the categories that I do have.
   For example I have approx 11 cake categories on a site and they should appear
   like this
    [http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/category/celebrity-cakes/](http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/category/celebrity-cakes/)
 * Instead, categories is being listed as if it was a tag like below
    [http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/category/adult?paged=7](http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/category/adult?paged=7)
 * If you replace category with the word tag and again remove the dreaded ?paged
   =7 (Which it is adding again to make the url look like this
    [http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/tag/adult](http://www.kimboscakes.co.uk/tag/adult)
   it works.
 * Basically the category site map is the same as the tag site map with the word
   tag being replaced by category which of course is incorrect

 * I’d suggest posting on the Yoast-specific forum:
