Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with your sitemap on sunaotherapy.com. It seems like you have already tried some troubleshooting steps, including adding rewrites to .htaccess and attempting to access the dynamic sitemap directly without success.
Since you are hosted on DreamHost, it’s important to note that DreamHost uses an Apache web server. Given that you have already added the rewrite rules to the .htaccess file as per our guide, and you are still experiencing a 404 error when trying to access the sitemap, there might be another underlying issue causing this problem.
To further investigate and resolve this issue, I recommend checking the server configuration on DreamHost to ensure that the rewrite rules are correctly applied and that there are no conflicting directives affecting the sitemap generation.
If you need further assistance with this, please reply here, and one of our human agents will take over the ticket to provide you with more personalized support.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This ended up working – it was because my pages were all password-protected. The moment I turned them to public, the sitemap started being generated again.
