i have a question about it. I installed it and its looking great.

I wanted to ask some questions about it:

I created sitemap and submit it to google

First question here : For adding sitemaps to google, it requires valid google account. But the script is only pinging google. So will it also work? or must i also add my sitemap manually by using my google account.

Second question: At my forum guests can see thread titles but when they want to read its posts, it asks for login info. So must i enable showthread and showposts functions or must i disable them?

Third Question: I submitted it to google and it said downloaded 1 hour ago but at script there is a show sitemap download log and when i click it there is nothing displayed.But google says i downloaded it 1 hour ago. Why it isnt displaying?

Fourth Question: I opened sitemap_index.xml.gz file and its written in it like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84 http://http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/siteindex.xsd">
<sitemap>http://www.example.com/forum/sitemap_1.xml.gz</sitemap>
<sitemap>http://www.example.com/forum/sitemap_2.xml.gz</sitemap>
<sitemap>http://www.example.com/forum/sitemap_3.xml.gz</sitemap>
<sitemap>http://www.example.com/forum/sitemap_4.xml.gz</sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

but there is no sitemap under forum. the sitemaps are in forum/vbseo_sitemap/data folder.

fifth and last question : Google give an error llike :

http://www.example.com/forum/showthr...?t=9821&page=2 URL not under Sitemap path
http://www.example.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9856 URL not under Sitemap path
http://www.example.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9963 URL not under Sitemap path


When i click the link for more info there is written like :

https://www.google.com/webmasters/si...itemapLocation

its long but you can find it at that link shortly its meaning:

Sitemaps cant contain files at different locations from sitemap file.

So why is google giving url not under sitemap path error?

my forum is under example.com/forum

and sitemap folder is example.com/forum/vbseo_sitemaps/data
