I have developed a website on wordpress where I used Yoast SEO plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) for SEO and Custom Permalinks (https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/) to customize my links.
Now issue is neither Yoast SEO nor Google Sitemap is able to generate sitemap XML on my website, it returns 404 Error. If i disable Custom Permalinks plugin then it works perfectly.
I even tried changing my Yoast SEO Plugin to All in One SEO but issue remains same, Sitemap only works if custom permalinks is disabled which I can not do because I created custom post type and i must use it.
Did any one use this combination and fixed such issue?

If you use Yoast SEO Plugin they show on their site how to fix it here - http://kb.yoast.com/article/77-my-sitemap-index-is-giving-a-404-error-what-should-i-do
on an Apache server but make sure you put this in the .htacess before the WordPress code that is in there.
