Hi, recently we had to reinstall our vBulletin due to a server crash, since then the sitemap generator is weird. It generates the sitemap files, but not the log entries, so there's nothing in the reports list. I tried to uninstall it, delete all files, reinstall it but the problem persists.
The data folder is filled with the sitemap_*.xml.gz but there's no log files, which I think are the files that the Reports List gets. Any ideas? Thanks. |

Hi,
My webhost has just disabled the following php functions citing them as insecure... exec,system,shell_exec,passthru,dl,escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd,popen,pcntl_exe c,symlink,proc_close,proc_open Now my VBSEO sitemap generator can't ping the search engines. Which function does the script use to ping? EDIT: nevermind, updated to newer version, now it's fine. |

For no reason whatsoever, on December 18, this stopped working. Google says 404 not found, look up in FTP, and sure enough there is no sitemap in the folder Google is looking for it in.
It generates the sitemap, but then it just "poof" dissapears. When i generate it manually, and immediately look in the folder via FTP program, the file is not there. I'm completely lost. |

Hi,
I just installed this and it seems to work except that the report says that the Yahoo upload failed. I've visited the page that you provide for uploading a text file but I don't see where I can submit it. What's up with the Yahoo upload? Code:

How can pages created in Logician's Webtemplates be included in the sitemap?

When the sitemap is generated by the task manager the urls in the extra-urls.txt are not included in the sitemap.
If I manually create the sitemap by clicking on the link in the ACP the extra-urls.txt file is included. Why is this so? |
