Like Andrew mentioned, go save an existing post or create a new one and that causes the sitemap to be re-written with the new mapped domain. If you use Google Webmaster tools you will get errors until you do this... Also take a look at the plugin directly as the sitemap page limit is pretty low, you can up the number manually to your preference.....

Republishing a post did the trick. I had tried a new page, and a new post that was scheduled into the future, neither of those triggered a new sitemap. Thanks for the help.

OK, so I take it back. After my client published a new blog post, the sitemap reverted to the wpmu subdomain URLS and I can't get it to reset, even with a new blog post. I tried increasing the number of posts to index in the plugin, but that didn't affect the URL problem.
Oddly, I'm finding that users with new websites that add a new blog post are not having the sitemap updated, yet if I go in as admin and simply update an existing post, the sitemap is recreated correctly.... something to look at as well....

This seems to be the right thread, which went quiet after the new version...but with WP 3.0, the issue is back (at least, for me.) (Specifically the sitemaps portion of sitemaps and SEO - Wordpress MU style 1.0.3.
WP 3.0 came along as I was starting the re-platforming for a variety of lightly used blogs. So I decided to see what I could build with it...I love the idea of having all the working parts in the same place to keep admin to a minimum.
So I've installed the simple-sitemap plug-in, and mapped a domain to the site (I'm using subdirectories, rather than subsomains, due to a legacy decision).
so servesupwp.com/blog1/ is mapped to blog1.com, but the sitemap presents:
- <loc>
servesupwp.com/blog1/2010/07/some-thing-or-other/
</loc>
Perhaps some of the improvements to the plug-in haven't been carried forward? I've tried re-publishing etc. but nothing changes the sitemap to use the mapped domain.
Also I note that the sitemap.xml file has the text <!-- Sitemap was loaded from a cached file --> at the end - is there some way I can clear the cache, so I know I'm looking at the right sitemap?
We're still seeing issues we reported above as well. Mapped domain sitemaps will revert back to unmapped sitemaps even after we have previously added a new post and confirmed that at some point the sitemap was working correctly by listing mapped URLs.

Just following up on this...I'm having some trouble here as well. Webmaster tools is showing lots of errors with my sitemap, both with subdomains and mapped domains.

Thanks James,
The new SEO plugin looks promising. Looks like it's been in alpha for a while. Is the production release pending 3.1's release or will it be later than that?

If you are looking for a fast replacement, Yoast seo plugin for wordpress works well with MS (especially for sitemaps, which supports custom post types as well), even if the subsites are domain mapped :)
Noticed that sitemaps are again reverting to non-mapped URL, looks like we're going to have to upgrade everyone from All in one SEO to the Yoast plugin (since it offers sitemaps) since this plugin is being phased out ....

Speaking of the Yoast plugin, how does the new WPMU DEV SEO plugin compare? Want to know what to tell our users when they ask the benefits of the WPMU DEV plugin.

I'm also seeing the same issue with the new SEO plugin. For example, customdomain.com is mapped to subdomain.maindomain.com, but the sitemap just shows subdomain.maindomain.com.

Hiya,
Note that the AIO SEO and Simple Sitemaps are two separate plugins :)
Have you published a new post since mapping the domain?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hiya,
We'll take a look at the plugin sometime this week and see what's going on.

Problem Solved: Not having a comment on any posts breaks the domain mapping for the sitemap plugin. Strange, but an easy workaround once I found it.

Hi Guys,
I just uploaded a new version of the sitemaps plugin. It should resolve the domain mapping issue. Ask.com is also disabled by default.
Thanks,
Andrew

I'll take another look at this then. I had it marked off my list since no one reported any issue after the new version went up.

Just following up...is there a better way to create a google sitemap for a mu subdirectory community?
Member (joined April 2010) Likes (0)
Also following up...
I'm still seeing this problem with the following versions:
Wordpress (multisite subdirectory-style) 3.0.4
Domain Mapping 3.0.2
Simple Sitemaps 1.0.3
So,
server.com/blog1/ is mapped to blog1.com, but the sitemap presents:
<loc>
server.com/blog1/page-name/
</loc>

Hiya Travis,
I think we'll be phasing out this plugin at some point in favor of the new SEO plugin available here:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/new-wpmu-dev-seo-plugin-alpha-version
I'll ask one of our devs to comment further on this particular plugin though.
thanks!

Hmm, just tried to view the sitemap for a mapped domain again, and I got this:
Isn't that the robots.txt instead of a sitemap?
