Sitemap updating

Hi,

I’ve just changed my URL’s to exclude country as we are only operating in the one country, I also included categories in my url’s.

I go to GD permalinks and save, then clear my GD booster and then settings – permalinks – save.

Nothing changes in my sitemap? I’ve always had this problem and i think guust must of saved my url’s about 4 times now, am I missing something because I do the same every time and it never seems to work (getting annoying now)

Also I have a category with the slug ‘cottages’ but it always saves the URL as ‘cottages-1’, that happens on a few so i’ve had to change my slugs to avoid this.

Any idea why that happens also as i’ve checked all the pages I can find and can’t see them used in other places.

Thanks.
