    Google Webmaster Picking and Choosing?

    Has anyone had Google Webmaster pick and choose certain parts of your index to download? This is the first time this has happened to me. Webmaster has downloaded my blog, group, and album section yesterday but not my forum section for over a week. Is this normal?

    It doesn't always grab everything at once.

    You may want to delete the xml.gz files and re-generate it manually to make sure your task is fully completing.

    They are all .gz files. I can only delete the entire index and resubmit through webmasters. Did you want me to delete somewhere else?

    I was referring to the actual files on your server in vbseo_sitemap/data/.

    Delete them there, and then re-run the sitemap task from vbseo_sitemap/ manually.

    In my file system then? Is that what you mean or somehow through the vbseo interface? I'd you are referring to in the file system where does this one live? I want to make sure I delete the right files. Thanks

    Yes, ftp into your site.
    navigate to vbseo_sitemap/data/
    find the sitemap_XXXXXXXX.xml.gz files
    delete them in the ftp client
    navigate to vbseo_sitemap/
    and click on the run now link to re-generate
