    In reading through the forums, it appears as though YoastSEO’s xml sitemap creator is not an appropriate solution for GD sites. That makes sense. However, I still need to have an accurate sitemap that includes my places.

    Suggestions on how to proceed?

    Hi,

    Yoast SEO’s xml sitemap creator, is the only tool that is fully tested and works.

    not sure where you got this information from.

    Thanks

    Hmmm…it seems to break my site. I may have read something on the Yoast support site about it not being able to parse the GEO database.

    Out of the box, with sitemaps enabled, I get a 404 error when I try to access the sitemaps. When I disable the sitemap, I get no results from any search (direct search from search box, clicking on map links or list links) and I still get a 404 error for the sitemaps. The site stays broken (even when re-enabling sitemaps) until I restore a backup.

    Anything special I should be doing in Yoast to get it to play nice?

    Hi Greg,

    I’ve flagged this for the developers.

    I’ve tested on our demo and I can’t recreate any of these problems.

    I believe this is due to server permissions. It seems like it is not able to create the xml file.

    We’ll let you know asap.

    Thanks

    Hi Thanks for the info. I set things up and it was not working, i checked your permalink settings and they were “/%postname%” i changed to “/%postname%/” with a trailing / and everything seems to work, let us know.

    Thanks,
