<green tick> 404, Meta, Redirect, Sitemap and URL are enabled. (Configure)

Enable Google SEO Sitemap is set to YES.
In the AdminCP --> Configuration --> Settings --> Google SEO Sitemap
Sitemap URL scheme has the value: sitemap-{url}.xml
Forums: Yes
Threads: Yes
Users: Yes
Announcements: Yes
Calendars: Yes

Thanks in advance!
