Google sitemaps and a client's wordpress... not indexing.

    Google sitemaps and a client's wordpress... not indexing.

    Hope somebody can help me understand what is going on with this:

    FYI: insertnameofwebsite.com is a made up name to protect the real client...

    Here is the problem with google indexing the site:

    Within a client's wordpress settings he has it set to insertnameofwebsite.com
    His actual files are http://insertnameofwebsite.com/category/whatever

    When I went to google to upload a sitemap.... google automatically assumes his domain would start off like this: http://www.insertnameofwebsite.com

    I just assumed that google would still be able to find all the links...theres atleast 30 (9 from the root alone.) Well, it didnt... all it indexed was:

    http://insertnameofwebsite.com
    and
    http://insertnameofwebsite.com/category/whatever

    No other links listed...
    So wait something's wrong right?

    I type in http://www.insertnameofwebsite.com into google to get to his website... and it automatically changes back to

    http://insertnameofwebsite.com

    So if I go into wordpress and change both general settings to:
    http://www.insertnameofwebsite.com
    http://<i>www.insertnameofwebsite.co...y/whatever</i>

    Will this correct the issue and find all the links properly?
