 The XML sitemap functionality from WordPress 5.5 fails to handle the
 /sitemap.xml -> /wp-sitemap.xml redirect if custom permalinks are used. If
 you use any of the built-in permlinks modes, the redirect functions fine,
 but if you set it to a custom permalink that is dis-similar to the built-
 in ones it breaks because it is only looking to pull values from the
 built-in regular expression matches. The /wp-sitemap.xml itself still
 continues to work.

 In the sites where the redirect breaks, I have this as the Custom
 Structure:

 {{{
 /%category%/%postname%/
 }}}


 {{{
 /%category%/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
 }}}
