but i have all threads and posts visibles for visitors... :S

anyone else have this problem?

it was a server config error and its fixed now.............. :mad:

thank you:up:

Does this need to be manually submitted to google through the webmaster tools? I installed it but google isn't showing any site maps... I manually added the sitemap and it works but not sure if it will update.

Interesting. Since my server upgraded the database to 5.0.92-community and PHP 5.2.17 this no longer works. I get a dbase error rather than a sitemap...

Hi there , thanks a lot for this great mod.

i have two vb forums one i am using vb 4.1.1 and the other is 4.1.3 i tried to install tthis mod on both the sites , the one using 4.1.3 worked like a charm but the one using 4.1.1 although got installed properly is not working and giving me a 500 error

so need to ask is it because of the vb version or some other error that i need to check

thanks again for this mod

Ok ive followed the install instructions,think ive done it write.When i try this

http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum.ph...p_index.xml.gz it brings me back to my homepage.Any ideas whats going wrong

its ok managed to sort it

I don't know if it "needs" to be in WMT but it does help and the sitemap will update.
Once you have it in WMT you can than see what backlinks you have to the site, so it's good to have it regardless.

has anyone got this working with downloadsII for vb 4.x yet? trying to get a sitemap working and after some searching found out that the suplied addon file is for vb 3.x only, and vbSEO didn't plan on updating the addon any time soon

Ok, for anybody who is interested, I managed to hack apart the addon file vbseo_sm_downloads2.php to enable it to work with the vb4.x DownloadsII addon.

It should now add this sitemap to your existing one.

Happy days.

File attached

Also, there is a better file here:
http://www.vbseo.com/f44/downloadsii...-plugin-45290/

thank you

Any help?

Thanks!

Installed without any error message nor big problem, let's wait some days to see results. In the meantime thanks to developer(s) :D

Hi,

I have a problem with my forumdisplay links.
They look like http://www.elsf.net/forumdisplay.php?page=[number] instead of http://www.elsf.net/forumdisplay.php?f=[number]

I think there is a bug in the following section:
$url = $vbseo_vars['isvb4'] ?
fetch_seo_url('forum|nosession', $g_cache['forum'][$forum_id], ($page>1)?array('page'=>$page):array())
: 'forumdisplay.'.VBSEO_PHP_EXT.'?f='.$forum_id . ($page>1?'&page='.$page:'');

Probabbly problem with $g_cache.

How can i fix it?

Thanks.

the files in htaccess do we need to upload all them?

When I try to view VBSEO sitemap reports, I get this error:

Any idea?

I need Help please
Something happened and suddenly I started getting 404 on http://www.dacho.co.il/sitemap_index.xml.gz
He just was not created on the server for some reason

I will try it - Thanks =)

Can anyone help ? When I try to generate a site map i get the follow error

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Running vb 4.1.4 & vbseo 3.6.0

Just un-installed and re installed and it's working now.

did the install, including renaming htaccess.txt into .htaccess

But now i'm unable to log into my ACP :(

here's the error message. help in either correcting what's wrong or uninstalling the mod would be GREATLY appreciated!

ps - i've loaded it twice but the .htaccess file seems to disappear in public_html after i rename it from htaccess.txt to .htaccess. is this to be expected?

All links are generated successful however I am having one problem with this mod generating CMS articles URL's correctly. Running 4.1.4

My URLs are pretty standard:

When I run the Generator, it produces URLs that look like this:
Notice that it's generating "content.php" and not including a /

All the other Mod Rewritten URLS are working fine such as the forums, and blogs.

Default XML Sitemap must be disabled if i use this sitemap?

Im not using VBSEO so i try to change the "\" on rewrite form VBSEO .
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

to "/" and its work thanks...
( maybe "/" its meant for VBSEO user )

the only problem wa the BING submission link

dont change your .httacces just add some line form httacces.txt provided on folder do not upload

STOPPED WORKING again! omg im lost.

getting error /sitemap_index.xml
Sitemap file not found
but /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=sitemap_forum_1.xml.g z works!!
something with .htaccess??????????

vbseo will NOT pick up on any 'friendly' urls in use.
You should use this with vbseo, or with standard urls only.

If you're using any friendly service urls from vb4, you should use the vb4 built in tool.
yes, you should not run both.

I have no idea what you're trying to do here.
\ is an escape character, making "." a literal DOT and not a catch-all as in, say (.*) in a regular expression.


Bing has blocked non-us pings for some time. It's out of anyone's control but their own.

as advised before, you have 3 options, and need to consult with your host on this matter as it is the rewrite area that is not working on your server. Or, move to a provider that understands basic rewriting.

The rewrite rules are working host confirmed that!
and im not the only one with this error i think.
why you use this rewrite rules instead just point to the file... such things makes problems

my rewrite rules:
this arent possible options that youve written.
i need a real solution or what the support have to check on server to find the problem.
one more time: all other rewrite rules work perfect!

This needs to be mentioned in the OP then. I guarantee most people running VB4 who do NOT have VBSEO installed will be running friendly URLs.

Checking from my google account I seem to be having an issue with the Archive file. All other sitemaps work fine and get a green check but the Archive one stays with the https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/09/58.png

Any ideals why???

Also I had over 1 million indexed urls but now after a server move and upgrade Im back to only 6,600... That SUCKS!!!

Is this normal?

Check the archive sitemap that its generating

No info as to the problem in my Google acount and when I open the sitemap its encrypted.

http://mysite.com/forums/sitemap_archive_1.xml.gz

That's encrypted? Go in through the admincp, log in with the password you setup for the mod, and navigate to the archives bit and make sure the links are valid.

From the admincp it looks fine and the link is valid but I still have the issue inside my Google account.

See screenshot.

installed

cheers

Is this something I should install (even if I recently installed the most recent version of VBSEO)? Many, many thanks for the advice.
