Naiba used to as well, but later discovered that All in One SEO Pack actually includes a sitemap generation component within its features, so Google XML Sitemaps was no longer used for generation. Just now, I suddenly found that sitemap.xml returned a 404 error, and switching to Google XML Sitemaps also resulted in a 404,Not sure what the reason was, but I've been tinkering with file caching these past two days(Looking at the rules, it should be that setting an 8-day cache for xml caused the 404; excluding xml from the cache should fix it.) Below is how toSolution for sitemap.xml file 404. The occurrence of a 404 is basically due to pseudo-static configuration issues.
