I installed Wordpress 2.2 version on a new blog of mine on Indian Real Estate sometime back and was trying to add a Sitemap page to it today.
I added the Sitemap page and it gave a 404 error (page not found). My permalink structure was set to “Date and name based”. I switched to “Default” permalink structure and the page would come up. I needed the “Date and name based” option (useful from SEO point of view) to work for me though.
I was looking at the page options (from the admin interface) and tweaked around the “Page Slug” option and named sitemap-propertysamachar instead of sitemap.
Viola! the page started coming up.
I hope this helps people who ran into this issue. If anyone knows why this would happen, then please leave a comment here.
