    Did you enter a path in the vbseo sitemap generator options? 99.9% of the time, this should be left blank.

    I had the URL in that setting. I deleted it. I think this may have done it.

    Bless you once again.

    I am having the same issue, google not able to find the sitemap, and I did not enter any path in the vbseo sitemap generator options. My sitemap stopped working once I upgraded to vBSEO Sitemap Generator 2.6 Beta 2

    I did all the steps mentioned in your previous posts..still no luck.

    Any help is really appreciated.

    Your robots file is loading correctly, sitename removed (note, its still in your link)

    vboptions -> vbseo sitemap options.
    uncheck the radio button next to include showpost urls.
    save.

    delete all xml.gz files from vbseo_sitemap/data folder

    then, regenerate the sitemap manually from /vbseo_sitemap
