[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] error: 404 when submitting yoast XML sitemap to google webmaster to

Could you open the following file:

/wordpress-seo/inc/class-sitemaps.php

then find this line:

function output() {

and add this immediately after it:

header( 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK' );

this might fix it, please let me know if it does!

Joost, it worked! Thank you very much. Would you include this in next update? If not I will loose it.

For everyone else, I ALSO added the following to the .htacces:

# WordPress SEO – XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap_index\.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?\.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress SEO – XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix

Joost, with the latest update (1.2.5) I went back to the beginning. I can see the sitemap at: https://ritzycharters.com/sitemap_index.xml but google webmaster tools says: General HTTP error: 404 not found.

I will add again the code you gave me and see what happens. It would be nice to have this resolved in next update ??

Thanks!
