    Navigate to the affected page and scroll to the All in One SEO Pack section then uncheck the NOINDEX this page/post and NOFOLLOW this page/post box. After that click on Fetch as Google.

    Did you try another browser? or clear cache and cookies and try again?
    & for sitemap Enter the URL without "www" and check, the sitemap will load well.
