Unless you specifically changed the location of the sitemap, this add-on does NOT place it in the root directory where search engines expect to find it.

Instead, you'll find it at /{forum root}/vbseo_sitemap/. You need to add the following lines to your .htaccess file to redirect Google and friends to the correct location:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

If you altered the default location, I suggest you remove that entry in options. Others have reported difficulty with using that option.

Are you able to access it from the vBSEO options panel in your Admin CP?
