With this plugin, do I need to have specified a directory in my google sitemap cp at the google site?

Bump, please help0r me ><

Hello Blaminator,

do you mean, whether it is required to submit sitemap files to your Google Webmsater account? If so, it is not essential step, BUT suggested as you will be able to see sitemap parse stats at your webmaster account pages (as well as other useful details).

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean, what URL should I submit to my google webmaster account?

You should submit these URLs:

http://yoursite/forumsroot/sitemap_1.xml.gz
http://yoursite/forumsroot/sitemap_2.xml.gz
etc. (depending on number of sitemap files generated)

When I try that, I get this error:

You have entered a URL to a file. Please enter the site URL.

Mm. where do you enter them to?

1. You should open Sitemaps Overview page: http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview
2. Then click "Add" tab.
3. Make sure "General Web Sitemap" is selected and click "Next" button
4. Enter sitemap URL and click "Add Web Sitemap"

Wahey thank you Oleg

You are welcome
