Katelynn, I think you will find that you have two sitemaps after following the above because each has a upper limit of 20,000 URL's, so the overspill goes into the second sitemap, etc. if you take a close look at the numbers you will probably see 19,999 in the first.

My stats which I received in an email state:

Also note, the 2nd piece of code merely rewrites to the 1st - As far as I'm aware you're not actually creating a duplicated sitemap.

Like I said, if you have Google Webmaster installed it will tell you about any problems it's encountering - I'm still waiting for some advice from vBSEO ref the following error:

Sitemap included in this sitemap index
1 - 2 of 2
Filename Status
sitemap_1.xml.gz - Errors Details
sitemap_2.xml.gz - OK Details

When I click on the errors report it says:

Line Status Details
Details 15 Invalid URL
This is not a valid URL. Please correct it and resubmit. Help
