Important:
It can take a while for Google to process your sitemap. The length of time they take is entirely up to them and you cannot force them to process your sitemap any faster, so please be patient.

Note:
The XML Sitemap created by All in One SEO automatically includes all your images, so it means you don't have to submit a separate Image Sitemap.
