    A rule in the .htaccess file makes them appear in root. Please submit example.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

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

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