 * I found this bug a few days ago. If you edit any published post and then save
   it, the sitemap changes all the urls’ permalink and the category is removed from
   permalink. Here’s an example of what I’m trying to say.
    The sitemap first displays
   urls like this: [http://www.example.com/this-is-a-category/this-is-a-post](http://www.example.com/this-is-a-category/this-is-a-post)
 * After editing any published post and clicking save, the sitemap changes all the
   urls and displays urls in this format:
    [http://www.example.com//this-is-a-post](http://www.example.com//this-is-a-post)
 * The sitemap displays post permalink with double slash and the category removed.
   After rebuilding the plugin manually or publishing a new post, it resumes back
   to normal.
    This is really bugging me a lot and is affecting my SEO. 🙁

 * I have the same problem for months. I cannot find any durable solution. I had
   to disable the plugin because of it…
