# XML-Sitemap: 404 Errors

 * Hello Yoast SEO Team,
 * I have a few questions:
 * 1. There are some XML-Sitemaps in our global XML-Sitemap [https://omkb.de/wp-sitemap.xml](https://omkb.de/wp-sitemap.xml),
   which show an 404 error. For instance [https://omkb.de/wp-sitemap-posts-mpdl-file-1.xml](https://omkb.de/wp-sitemap-posts-mpdl-file-1.xml).
   What could be the cause of it?
 * 2. Can I re-generate the XML-Sitemaps somehow without uninstalling and reinstallation
   the entire plugin? If no, would’t that be a nice feature to add?
 * 3. All our XML-Sitemaps but the global one have a “-1” added at the end of the
   name of the sitemap. Is there a certain reason for this behaviour and how can
   I get rid of the “-1”?
 * 4. Can I exclude certain sub pages from the xml-sitemap generation somehow? Maybe
   there are some xml-sitemaps I do not want to show in in the xml-sitemap. Would
   be really great and usefull.
 * I am looking forward to your replys!
 * Regards
    Thomas

 * Hello Thomas,
 * Thanks for reaching out regarding your sitemap.
 * Your Yoast-generated sitemap should be at [https://omkb.de/sitemap_index.xml](https://omkb.de/sitemap_index.xml),
   but it does not currently exist. You can find XML Sitemap in your WordPress dashboard
   > SEO > General > Features. Scroll down to XML Sitemaps and ensure it is enabled
   and ‘Save Changes’. Next, click the question mark icon to reveal more options
   and click ‘See the XML sitemap’.
 * Once it is enabled, do let us know so we can troubleshoot the issue you have 
   reported.
