But if you no longer have the problem no sense in looking backwards.

Mh, I wouldn’t say that.

The sitemaps changed by itself and I noticed by accident.

That I fixed them does not mean they won’t change again unless I find out what causes the problem.

I planned to use the sitemaps plugin on many blogs, but I can’t go check all my sites (and my customer’s sites) every few days to check if the sitemap is working properly.

I used it on 2 blogs for a few weeks and have probs on both.

Mh, since I ran into more problems, for example Javascript not working anymore, I finally deactivated it completely.

??

Mh, so I rebuilt the sitemap manually for internetbusinessmastermind.com.
The links to non-existing pages are gone now.

But when i built it the first time they have not been there.

So the question still is:
Why are the sitemaps changing themselves into something that does not reflect the actual site anymore?

This is the one where all but 1 page were lost. I have corrected that manually from the admin interface. Question still is: why did it happen and how to prevent it from happening again?

This is the one where non-existing page names show up:
https://internetbusinessmastermind.com/sitemap.xml

Look for links in the sitemap like:
https://internetbusinessmastermind.com/1357
It’s not that I deleted these pages, they just have never existed in the first place. On this domain I use W3 Total cache plugin, not sure if it matters, but it has caused a series of problems in other areas.

Thanks,
Ralf

Jack, thanks for the tip. Disabling page and browser cache fixed the issue. Unfortunately now we can’t make full use of W3 total cache’s optimization.

No idea how to fix this?

Mh, i rather disable W3 total cache, I don’t want to confuse my users…
