Turn off XML Sitemap Generation in vB4?

Should I turn off XML Sitemap Automatic Generation in vBulletin Options->XML Sitemap->Enable Automatic Sitemap Generation radio button?

I assume it is repetitive, if there is another. Or is it still used for Live Search, Moreover, Ask.com? I notice Google/Yahoo were automatically disabled.

Thanks,

Jesh

yes, if using vbseo, you must use the vbseo sitemap generator. vb's native sitemap won't pick up vbseo'ed urls.

So uncheck Google and Yahoo! and check Live Search, Ask.com and Moreover? Or just turn off 'Enable Automatic Sitemap Generation' completely?

Thanks Brian.

Diable the entire task. you don't want it to run, period.

Thank you, sir. Went to option->XML Sitemap and clicked NO radio box next to Enable Automatic Sitemap Generation.

Also, I noticed in my Scheduled Task Manager there are two tasks:

vBSEO - Create Google/Yahoo Sitemap

and

vBSEO Sitemap Generator

Should both of these be running? They both point to the same script: ./vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap.php but one is product vBulletin, the other shows product vBSEO :: Sitemap Generator.

Is this set up right?

vBSEO Sitemap Generator is the correct task.

delete the other one. it is from older version (2.1 era) sitemap and should have been deleted before upgrading to sitemap 2.2, as the 2.2 product creates the task when the product is imported.

Thanks much, all set now. Would that have caused any conflicts with both running?

Only unless they both ran a the same time. Just make sure your google.com/webmasters area isn't reporting any errors.
