Hi,

The control panel vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin is saying my forum home page is http://www.new-age.net.au/forums.php

But it is not -
And this is causing problems .



It is http://www.new-age.net.au/forums/index.php

Please how do I correct this? :confused:

Admin CP | vBulletin Options | Site Name / URL / Contact Details

What do you have in the Forum URL and Homepage URL text boxes?

Also, do you have vBSEO installed as well as the vBSEO Sitemap? Check that your sitemap settings in the ACP reflect this correctly for your forum.

Silly me!!!

Thankyou I have fixed it !

No I dont have vBSEO installed I only have the vBSEO Sitemap installed.
Do I need to have the vBSEO installed as well?

Another question please !

I have a Google Tools account and 2 weeks ago I generated a site map from some generator and submitted it.

Because I have just installed vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap in my copy of vBulletin 3.8 do I go and delete the site map that I have submitted to Google sitemaps?:D

Don't delete it. Just edit it if it has a different filename from the one generated by the vBSEO Sitemap.

Thankyou!

No I dont have vBSEO installed I only have the vBSEO Sitemap Generator installed.
Do I need to have the vBSEO installed as well? :confused:

The below was sent to me however when I click the link http://www.new-age.net.au/forums/ind...vbseo_sitemap/

It directs me to my forum page less some images -
Is this normal?

:confused:

No. The Sitemap is a standalone add-on. There's just a slight difference in configuration if you also have vBSEO installed.

No. What do you mean it was sent to you? By what or whom?


This is the link you use and report to Google, etc.

However, the actual location will be redirected by an .htaccess file mod_rewrite. Did you add the required lines to your .htaccess file?

As to my post #201.

I can state now it IS the same problem as in februari last year, which was not fixed in this new version in spite of the fact that a complete solution was given.
A missed opportunity, pity. Maybe somebody can have a look at it and change the release zipfile to have the fixes included.

Thank You running like a charm in my website.

I realize that. I guess what I'm wondering is how I can block the vBulletin RSS feed which is being picked up as an additional sitemap. And because of this, google is warning me that it's duplicate content. I was thinking the .htacess file might already have a line in it to prevent google from picking up the rss site map feed.

Since it doesn't seem to be part of the stock .htaccess file, is there something I could add to stop google from picking up the vBulletin rss feed so I don't get warnings about duplicate content. :)
