 * Hi siteconcursos,
    This could be caused by many things, but I don’t think this
   is an HD Quiz issue, but an issue with however you are generating your sitemap.
 * HD Quiz uses custom post types to create and store questions, but these questions
   are not created as pages (set using native WordPress functions) – meaning the
   pages do not exist.
 * My guess is that whatever sitemap plugin or generator is not honoring the WordPress`'
   publicly_queryable' => false` hook and is wrongly including HD Quiz questions
   in the sitemap. Google reads this incorrect sitemap and gives a 404 warning because
   the page cannot be found.
 * I’d suggest going into your sitemap generation plugin and seeing if there is 
   an option to exclude posts by post type.
 * If you would like further assistance, then please let me know how you are generating
   and submitting your sitemap.xml to webmaster tools and I can advise from there.
