Any resons why this should not work also on 3.7.x?

Can some one please send correctly download link to the latest version, thanks a bunch!

There is no 3.7x yet. I assume you mean 3.67PL1 - it works fine in that version.

As far as I know, the link to the latest version of the add-on is right here.

after we make the site map we can delete th .htaccess file??

or not???

No. The .htaccess file tells spiders where to find your sitemap file. Only delete it if you use the robots.txt Sitemap: option.

Google sitemaps tell Google WHAT to index, not when. Generating a sitemap is no guarantee of increased spidering. I can't read Hebrew but your forum seems to be an active one. The problem is your home page is only PR1, which does have an influence on how often and how deeply Google will spider your pages. Of course, that may be different in your regional Google...

If you're using this add-on, that may be the incorrect URL for the sitemap.

By default, the add-ons saves current sitemaps at http://www.atraf-f.net/vbseo_sitemap - look there. Also make sure you either have the .htaccess file present and updated with the mod_rewrite instructions so the SEs can locate the correct sitemap or use the robots.txt instruction to accomplish that task.

Thanks so much DJ Baxter!

Yes I was referring to 3.6.7 PL1 (sorry)

I have now successfully installed sitemap generator v 2.0. And after running a sitemap generator report it confirms successful pings to Yahoo & Google.:)

I am concerned about one thing however and would appreciate feedback/confirmation on one thing:

When I try to access my http//:www.myforum.com/vbroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz page I get an 500-error page. : (Yes, I have set the permissions to 777 for my vbseo_sitemapfolder/data/ folder.

I have been advise to add "Rewrite/vbroot/" in my ".htaccess" file. Problem is my .htaccess file is invisible on my server. Any tips on that OR any other solution to the 500 -error page where the site map is supposed to show.


Thanks alot.

Don't have it 777, have it 755, some servers have extra security enabled which causes this. Switching it to 755 would work fine.

Thanks so much for your tip Dismounted.

I have tried setting the CHMOD permissions to BOTH 777 and 755, however and I STILL get 500 error page... when trying to access the
http://www.myforum.com/vbroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz file

(I can of course see the actual file is inside its folder).

Try 644.

thanks, but google had stoped indexing new theards, it will index anything else, but threads, tomshing is wrong, the .htaccess file os fine, i can view the files by atraf-f.net/site... just beacause of the .htaccess file, they are stored in ttp://www.atraf-f.net/vbseo_sitemap/data, and the last sitemap that the generator made is the one i gave http://www.atraf-f.net/sitemap_30.xml.gz you can view it throw this URL but it's actually stored in vbseo_sitemap/data/ , and i don't see any new theards \ messages in the GZ files that the generator is generating..

a google bots had used to index our threads on a daily basic, and now we done some hanges in the theards pages and after redoing those changes google bots are not indexing new pages from my board, im telling you, the bots used to index our pages every day, and now there in no new thread page in google for sonthing like 2-3 weeks, what seems to be the problem?
