    Hi,

    Can you give us examples of URL's you have in your sitemap that are redirecting?

    If you notice the first one, I don't even have the cms enabled, so I'm unsure of why that is in the sitemap as well.

    Please open a support ticket, with FTP and adminCP access so we can look at this.

    The vBCMS Comments forum exsisting even when you don't have the CMS is a bug in vBulletin. You can delete this forum in your adminCP though.

    As for the forum names all appearing as a- in the sitemap this is what we need to look into.

    No need for a ticket....
    sitemap 2.2 is not comaptible with vb4. You must upgrade/install sitemap 2.6 beta2 for vb4.

    After you have made the update you should delete all of your old sitemap files from the /vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder and regenerate them in the control panel to remove the incorrect URL's

    You can remove them but there is no need to... it is only the .xml.gz files that matter, and if you have issues also delete the .dat file

    Well, did all this. I still keep on getting the redirects. I have to go right now, but I'll put in a support ticket tonight.

    Your sitemap still shows 2.2.

    You didn't upgrade correctly.
