This hacks code was horrible on the back end. Google would not even follow the sitemap index file becuase of problems with it. Variables werent set to global where needed. Plus various other things everywhere.

it wont work if database name and username is the same on login :|

Why did you post it in the plugin forum then?

Whenever i try and input my database accounts details it keeps on insisting that they are incorrect even though i have quadruplally checked and rechecked them with those stored in my ./config.php file. Do i need to CHMOD some files or something like that to allow the Sitemap Creator to correctly identity what my account details are?

Just want to confirm something:

Once I have generated the sitemaps with this hack, do I just need to submit the sitemap_vb_index.xml file to Google Sitemaps, or should I also submit one or all of the individual sitemapX.xml.gz files?

I wouldnt use the sitemap index file. With the problem it has google wont follow it. I redid this and got it all cleaned up and once I did and google grabbed the new sitemap file they wont leave my site alone now.

So should I give Google the sitemap1.xml.gz, or sitemap2.xml.gz, or sitemap0.xml.gz? All three were created when I first ran this hack (just installed this morning and only run once). Actually, now that I look at it, the 0 file only seems to contain a URL to the home page, and the 2 file comes up as not being found, even though it's really there. So maybe I'll give it just the 1 file? Does it hurt to submit more than one, does it hurt if it can't find or access one of the submitted sitemaps if another works fine? Why are there multiple files, anyway?

You either have to use the index or submit every file that it makes.

could you be more specific? my generated sitemap and index look identical to the examples given by google.

Anyone mind helping me out?
