    Hello,

    I am using ethos x theme, my website is jrdsolutions.co.uk, I have tried Yoast SEO but every time I try to access my site map it takes me to a 404 error page.

    Kind Regards,

    Jacob

    I can’t do anything to my website, all I did was copy the code like the article said now the website can’t be accessed from anywhere

    Okay I re-tried the article and now the http://jrdsolutions.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml is blank, better than 404 I guess but still not quite there.

    I don’t really know how to do the second part of the article you sent, could someone do it for me? I’ve provided log in credentials. Thank you

    Hi There,

    I tried to resave your permalinks and it still blank. Upon checking about your issue, I found this article:http://kb.yoast.com/article/36-my-sitemap-is-blank-what-s-wrong. Same with the article you’re also using W3 Total Cache plugins.

    Hope this helps.
