We are still not sure what to do with this link http://www.puremarketprofits.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz It leads to our forum home page. Is it supposed to do that? What are we supposed to do with that link? Thanks in advanced. |

Are you using the default vBSEO .htaccess file? It should show the XML sitemap file instead of redirecting.

I do believe we are using the .htaccess file belonging to vbseo. I'm not sure what the .htaccess file should have, but we do have this code installed: Code: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] What else are we missing? |

Is that the entire contents of the .htaccess located in your forum root?

| This is all we have there at the moment: Code: RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum.puremarketprofits.com$
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 /upload/
#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 %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forums.puremarketprofits.com$ [OR]

Remove those last two lines, for sure. If you look up above, the sitemap rule is already included with the default vBSEO rules.

Now you can submit that link to your Google Webmaster account.

| Ok, that appears to have done it. So what good will this do? |

Another thing. We have renamed or admincp and modcp for security reasons. Should we update the names of these sections in the .htaccess file where it says admincp|modcp|? Code: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
