    URLS in sitemap not SEF?

    Hello,

    I just got my sitemap generated and wanted to see what it looked like so I opened up the urlllist XML file and my 90% of my urls are not SEF.

    They look like this:

    /forum/showpost.php?p=171751&postcount=2

    /forum/showthread.php?t=1918

    /forum/member.php?u=362

    /forum/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=169

    Shouldnt they be in the new friendly format that VBSEO creates?

    Thanks

    Did you go into the sitemap options and turn on the setting that tells it you have vbseo installed?

    Also, did you set it to keep a copy of old urls in the archive until the SE's get updated?

    Yep, the bullet is check YES to the first option asking me if VBSEO is installed.

    That is set to YES as well. Would that be what is causing this?

    Yes, dynamic URLs are added to sitemap along with SEOed URLs if you have the second option enabled.

    It's a feature not a bug.
