  • This will bring you to the "sh404SEF: Control panel" screen. In the top left corner, click "Configuration":

click configuration

  • You will see the "sh404SEF Configuration" box. Click the "By component" tab:

  • In the left column of listed components, find "Osmap" and set it to "Leave as non-sef":

  • Click "Save & Close".
  • Check your XML sitemap page. If the "Bad karma" error still persists, try setting the OSMap router in sh404SEF to "Use Joomla! router":
