Hi marco,

Thank you for your reply. Is this data folder within vbseo_sitemap directory?

Also I do not see any .gz files but only .log files. Should I go ahead and delete the data folder and rebuild a new folder?

vbseo_sitemap/data after that make sure you have made permissions 777 and then manually regenerate your sitemap

Hi, I have some updates. I applied all changes marco1 recommended and waited to see some changes. My indexed pages did not move much for almost 2 weeks and yesterday it was at 7k. I wake up today to check and my indexed pages has jumped to over 200k. Is this normal?

Also, I would like some assistance fixing a slight flaw in one of the revisions I applied. When applying the relevant replacements, I am seeing some errors in the format of the text. Please see attached. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

After we disabled some pages in vBSEO Sitemap generator and (showposts,archive,member profiles....) So that's Normal
