Sitemaps question

Does the vbseo sitemap software add threads and posts to your sitemap from individual forums that are disabled? I have a few large forums on my site that I have turned off, and dont want my disabled forums to be included in the sitemaps.

Hello,

vBSEO Sitemap Generator only includes the threads/posts from forums that guest visitors have permissions to view.

Please describe how you have them "disabled" or "turned off"?

If you mean by setting "Forum is Active (Will not appear if set to no, but remains accessible if the forum's URL is known)" to NO, then yes they will still be included since they are still accessible if the URL is known.

For those, if you don't want to include them in your sitemap, there is a field where you can list the forum IDs of any forums that you wish to manually exclude.

Otherwise, all forums that are accessible by guests will be included.
