OK, I had the same problem but got it working.
It is to do with a flag not being set; AFAICT if the ‘enablexmlnewssitemap’ option flag isn’t set then the sitemap plugin isn’t loaded, and the place where you turn this option on is tucked away in the sitemap plugin, so you have a Catch-22 situation.
The solution is to edit the news sitemap plugin file, comment out a line to force the plugin to load, then go and enable news sitemaps on the XML sitemaps page of the main seo plugin. Then you just uncomment the line in the plugin again and you’re all set.
The part to comment out is this, in wpseo-news/wpseo-news.php :
if ( !isset( $options['enablexmlnewssitemap'] ) || !$options['enablexmlnewssitemap'] ) return;Excellent news @aahan.
I have this vision of Yoast sitting at his machine, with a damp towel wrapped around his head, coding hard. I’m going to go make a donation to at least cover a pizza and some energy drinks right now 🙂
Just to add weight to this, I have this issue too; an empty news sitemap on http://www.nfcworld.com (and a couple of other sitemap pages appear don’t seem to load)

In reply to: [YARPP - Yet Another Related Posts Plugin] No related posts.I’m getting no related posts showing on new posts — but old ones are fine.
If I go in and edit the new post, though, then press ‘update’ without changing anything, related posts starts working.
So I’d say that the plugin is not generating related posts when a new post is added, but it it does fire properly on subsequent edits/updates.
Happy for you to have a look round the backend if it helps, Mitcho.
I think the ‘best practice’ is to serve ads with javascript, and then caching is not a problem.
If you’re serious about advertising you can use a system like Google DFP to take care of all aspects of your advertising, including ad serving, inventory control, and booking:

It is free to use, but the learning curve is quite steep 🙂
I’m sure there must be other solutions available too.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Minify broken?FWIW I have exactly the same issue as @niska — ongoing email error messages even though minify is not enabled.

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Custom taxonomy term URLs are incorrectIn case anyone else has trouble, I’ve fixed this by moving to version 4.0beta4, which works fine.

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Custom taxonomy term URLs are incorrectIs nobody else seeing this issue?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Custom taxonomy term URLs are incorrectOK, found the plugin’s debug log. The problem seems to be related to this:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$taxonomy in /var/www/[domain]/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2837And it looks like the funny links are coming from line 2848 of that same file.
But I’m not good enough at PHP to follow the code and debug it further 🙁

In reply to: 3.1 upgrade; database update fails and loopsThanks for the tip, Esmi. I tried that but had no joy.
Some more investigation tracked down this bug report:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16630
…which describes my issue exactly. Interestingly, like the reporter I also use W3 Total Cache.
Commenting out the ‘wp_cache_flush()’ as mentioned in the Trac ticket did the trick for me — though I’ve no idea if doing so will have any long-term implications.
There’s a downside to wpbum’s method, though, if you’re in the habit of leaving comments open for a certain period and then turning them off (I turn off commenting when a post gets to 28 days old, for instance)
You’ll find that once you’ve closed the comments on a post, any comments left prior to that will also stop showing up, which is generally not a good thing.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Minify Settings Lost after UpdateJust raising my hand here, too — upgrading caused W3TC to forget the minify settings (ie the list of script and CSS files) on my two installations as well.

In reply to: Incorrect timezone offset when formatting timeI’ve just noticed this too; I don’t seem to be able to persuade WordPress to put anything other than
+00:00into the time output bythe_time('c'), regardless of the timezone the backend is set to. I too think this might be a bug…Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: ShareThis] Not stoked about the MySpace cookieJust noticed this too. With each page load a request is fired off to:
Which means I’m not the only one getting my analytics data — it seems I’m sharing it with Fox Audience Network too.
No thank you, ShareThis, this is not on. I’m removing it from my site right now.
