Have you checked your settings under "Post Types" and "Taxonomies" to make sure you have set up correctly?

Yes it is configured correctly...

mmmm, not sure what the problem could be then, as I'm not having the same issue. If you would like, I could take a look for you later on in the day..If so, please pm me admin access to your site.

I have pm you admin credentials...

I'm noticing that you did make changes to the default settings under Post Types and Taxonomies within the Title, Description, and Keyword sections, as well as using Google XML Sitemap vs using the one provided in Yoast...The way I have mine set up is simply using the default settings, choosing which ones I want to be indexed..I'm not using the Meta description or the Meta keywords (keywords are useless anymore, so you don't need to use this), and I'm using the sitemap in Yoast (not sure if this would be an issue or not, I wouldn't think so, but you never know..) At this point I wouldn't worry much about the sitemap, but would recommend readjusting your settings (preferably putting the default ones back in) for the categories and ads sections to see if it makes a difference or not..

Thanks for you reply laura,

I am using site maps plugin because yoast plugin is not working and i am very much confused about these settings can you please correct them from you end which is best for seo

I agree Yoast is a bit confusing in regards to configuring it properly, and I'm still testing it out as well. I logged in to your site again, as you mentioned the sitemap not working, as I'm not having that issue either (I have noticed that if the plugin is deactivated for any reason that you may need to go into the settings for the sitemap and disable it, then enable again for it to show up). Did you happen to test for plugin conflict by deactivating all of your plugins when you were attempting to set up the sitemap in Yoast? I did noticed a couple plugins, WP Super Cache and Delete Duplicate Data (not sure why you are using this one), that could have the potential to conflict with Yoast..At this point, you'll need to decide whether you want to keep using the sitemap plugin your using now, or get rid of it (making sure the file(s) are removed on your server) before attempting to work with the sitemap through Yoast again. As for the settings, I would recommend starting over by going to SEO --> Dashboard --> General Settings --> Default Settings, and hit the reset button, but if for any reason your not comfortable doing this, I could run through all your settings and adjust them manually according to my exact settings, and you could then monitor what is working for your site, or where you may need to make adjustments if necessary..Whether resetting to default settings or adjusting manually will most likely will effect any seo efforts that are working for you presently, just to let you know..

I am using Delete Duplicate Data plugin to delete duplicate ads and make changes according to you i do not mind about if it gives me results.

Still in webmaster tools when I am trying to fetch any url as google, it is saying "unreachable" even it is not fetching my home page, so let's do one then I am can give you the access of webmaster tools and site admin, please check it and make my site accessible for google........ ..Plz help..
