Sudden drop in"Total URLS" after upgrade

Upgraded from 1.6.1 last night and the report ran twice (forgot to delete the old manual one).

In the reports list, I notice as of the run this morning, there is suddenly a -44,000 deficit (Usually, it's roughly +1000 on each daily run).

What would cause such a huge drop? No settings have changed as far as I can see, and we're not using the full VBSEO product.

I also notice the .htaccess has changed? (It's different to what we have installed).

We had this line

RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml\.gz|txt))$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

But it seems to be now :

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Thoughts?

Hello,

please check in the report details which URLs were removed (forumdisplay/showthread/member profiles).

Hi Oleg, thanks for your reply.

The specific details for the newest report are :

Total URLs 290,429 (-44,840)
Forumdisplay URLs 531 (-74)
Showthread URLs 22,125 (-3,383)
ShowPost URLs 243,941 (-38,500)
Archive URLs 20,783 (-20)
Member Profile URLs 3,012 (+6)
Poll Results URLs 35 (-)

And here is yesterdays, which is indicative of a typical day :

Total URLs 335,269 (+1,233)
Forumdisplay URLs 605 (+1)
Showthread URLs 25,508 (+85)
ShowPost URLs 282,441 (+1,046)
Archive URLs 23,696 (-)
Member Profile URLs 3,006 (+20)
Poll Results URLs 0 (-)

Do you have some forums set to be private? (ie, not accessible by guests)

It looks like you had URLs from non-public subforums included in sitemap earlier and current version excludes them.

I thought that. There are a few staff forums, but the total of threads/posts etc that have dropped arent indicative of the total that are there.

The forum numbers to exclude were definitely in the options before the upgrade, as I noted them down, and theyre the same, post-upgrade.

Unless the previous version (1.6.1) wasn't excluding them for some reason?
(I'll delve into one of the old reports and cross reference some URL's to check).

That's the only thing I can think of.

Thanks again, for your reply

Ahh Ive just realised we're running Photopost Pro, that might explain it.....
