    Latest version of Google/Yahoo sitemapper

    Hi,
    I just bought vbSEO yesterday and I'd like to create a sitemap for Google/Yahoo for my forums. I did not see the sitemapper in the vbSEO control panel, but did see a link to a v.2.2 of the sitemapper in the downloads area. I wasn't sure if that is the one to dowload or not, because it only mentioned vbSEO v.3.2 not v.3.3.

    Can you please tell me which is the correct version to download and install. I hope this is not a stupid question but I just wanted to make sure I use the right product. Thank you.

    You should use vBSEO 3.3.0 (www.vbseo.com/downloads/) and vBSEO Sitemap Generator 2.5 (vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator - vBulletin.org Forum)

    Are the upgrade instructions complete? There seems to be something missing.

    They should be complete.

    1) Upload and overwrite files on your FTP.
    2) Import new product .xml to your AdminCP
    3) Remove all files ending in .xml.gz in your ./vbseo_sitemap/data folder
    4) Go to http://yoursite.com/vbseo_sitemap/, enter your password and regenerate.

    5) That's it!

    Well that would work too. But I would do it my way personally in case some settings changed (Such as not priority is a range rather than a constant number).

    Thanks again for your help.
    Sorry to hijack this thread, but should I also remove urllist.txt.gz?
