Is this how my site map is suppose look?

I'm also getting these Crawl errors,but those are Vbulletin Defualt Urls.

Hi Travis,

Those URLs are vB-friendly URLs and they are 404'ing because they don't exist anymore and need to be redirected to new vBSEO'ed format. Please see this post: #2

I'm using Godaddy FTP,and I just copied and pasted the code,but it didnt work for me.

For some weird reason changes applied on .htaccess files of sites hosted on Godaddy take a while to reflect any changes. You may need to wait a couple hours before seeing any change

ok thank you.

I just copied,and pasted the code under the code that brian gave me about changing www's is that ok?


Also can you check for me to see if my site map is loading properly. I made a post about it on the bottom of page #2

anything with www should redirect me to non-www. your htaccess is incorrect or hasn't updated yet.

Well what could have I done wrong? I just copied and pasted the code?

Did you actually type in your domain name?

yes I replaced example.com with my domain. The HTaccess is located in VBSEO>Includes right?

No, it should be in your forum root (same places as showthread.php)

ok I found it. It wasnt showing up on Godaddy so I had to use File Zilla


Here is the text,but I don't know where to put it

I don't mean to be annoying,but can you show me where to put these codes.

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On


# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /


#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]




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


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|api\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

ok I think I did it

So How does everything look now?

looks good now.
