Google ping: FAILED.

1.7 is the latest, and the only one available that I know of.

ah, I need to do this fix

Yes, there are a few updates in the latest download, everyone should upgrade, especially now that the ping url for google has changed.

er, where can I get the latest 1.7?

n/m didn't realize it was in the download section.

on the bottom of the downloadsection you will find it

I noticed that it is version RC4. I had just the regular 1.7 before. What else has changed?

where you see a rc4 of the sitemap generator there?
i only see: vBSEO Sitemap Generator v1.7

at the bottom of every page.

ah, yahoo notify! woo!

oh that you mean

i thought you are looking for the sitemap generator download
sitemap generator version is 1.7
vbseo is 3.0.0RC6

FIND:

PHP Code:

           $gurl = 'http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap='.urlencode($url); 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

           $gurl = 'http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap='.urlencode($url); 


Has this change/update been added to the download list?

Yes, the latest available version has this fix implemented.
