Verifying your vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator is Installed Correctly

What are the contents of your .htaccess? Also, when you generate, does it run through, or throw an error?

Code:

http://www.sounddistrict.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Shows an error since my members are written as sounddistrict.com/shazz

However my change updates everyday +6 etc.

I assume this is ok since reports are being showed fine.

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_gets$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

And when i generate the sitemap page goes through.

Hello,

try to modify your .htaccess file:
FIND:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)

REPLACE WITH:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)

Shows an error since my members are written as sounddistrict.com/shazz

You should disable "Include member URLs" option in this case.

I did the changes and it seems working now:

Code:

Property Status Sitemap type Web Format – Submitted 9 minutes ago Last downloaded by Google 7 minutes ago Status OK Total URLs in Sitemap 0  Indexed URLs in Sitemap Help    –

Thank you.

I have disabled that in the sitemap settings before hand

Great, looks good!

Did you re-generate sitemap after that? (you should remove sitemap files from data/ folder first)

Why would I remove sitemap files from data folder when changing the option to just sitename.com/username

I cannot open Sound District sitemap URL, looks like there is an issue with your URL rewrites.

But everything in the settings look fine like its working, could I open a support ticket for you to look at?

Yes, please.

Thanks Oleg for the fix and Michael for your time on MSN
Much appreciated! go vBSEO
