 * Hi, no matter how many times I submit xml sitemap that the plugin generates I’m
   getting error at Google Webmaster Tools. It used work (no error) before, so it
   must be some recent change at Google is causing this problem, I suppose. Does
   anyone have solution or workaround to get no error at there?

 * I am having the same problem! My sitemap.xml says I have 201 submitted urls but
   my sitemap.xml.gz says I only have 1 url. I hope this can be fixed soon.

 * I have the same problem guys, have you check your sitemap.xml?
    I think my problem
   boils down to it generating urls with double slashes like this:
 * ht tp://www.yourdomain.com//category/post-title
 * I’m trying to figure out how to change this

 * hi, i have the same problem too. the “work around” would be to ftp to the site
   and open up the xml sitemap file. from there, inspect every url and look for 
   ones where there are double slashes or no slashes (my situation). for me it was
   at the tail end on the url for category. if you add (or remove) slashes as necessary
   and upload again you should be able to go into your analytics account, hit “resubmit”
   and it should work.
 * i’m hoping someone will post a reply that will identify a permanent fix since
   doing this manually each and every time i make a post is a big pain.
