    How Do I Remove Forums/Posts in Sitemap?

    I did not exclude one of the forums that I didn't want in the sitemap, and now I don't know how to get rid of it. Is there a way to delete it from the sitemap?

    I did that, but after the fact. The forums that I didn't want Included are still on the sitemap. I need to remove them.

    Re-run the sitemap using the option on the sitemap menu.

    First, remove all of your old sitemap files from your vbseo_sitemap/data directory just to make sure they're cleaned out. Then run the sitemap generator from the vBSEO Sitemap menu (Not by running the scheduled task.) Then, no threads from any forums listed in the Exclude Forums list will be included.

    I don't see a place to run it from the sitemap menu.
