I am unable to duplicate this issue with wordpress seo plugin (yoast) and our sitemap plugin…  there are slight header and formatting issues related to recent wordpress seo changes that do need to be addressed but I cannot get an empty sitemap…

so need to check one thing… for the two users with this problem, you sites are public, correct?  That is, guests can read all your forum posts?  remember, google index bot is just a guest…  so it (a guest) needs access to the forum in order to index it… 

also, that you are running latest sp google xml sitemap plugin v2.1 and wordpress seo v1.4.23…

also, after trying to view the forum sitemap, please check your error log and see if anymore info…

— Yoast SEO : running v 1.4.23
— SP Google XML : running v 2.1
— Yes, Guests can see the posts

— Clicked the Yoast forum sitemap, it is empty (growth trac dot com/forum-sitemap.xml

— According to Yoast, this sitemap was last updated Jan-10 (?)

Are there other settings I should check?

did you check the error log as requested? unable to duplicate on two sites… so would really like to know if any errors… if not, then would have to debug locally on your site to see what is up…

Sorry, I did not.  Here’s what I see:

[Sun Jan 19 00:49:47 2014] [error] [client 50.165.101.248] PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object, referer: http://www.growthtrac.com/sitemap_index.xml

thats just a notice…  harmless more than likely…

what are your wordpress seo sitemap options?

would you be able to provide a wp admin account (with sp admin capabilities) and ftp access to debug locally?
