Invalid URLs in the sitemap!

Google shows me warnings when I access my webmaster tools. he says that my sitemap contains invalid URLs in the sitemap!

I check it and find that all URLs to forums are invalid.
This is a quote from it:

Code:

<url>
  <loc>/http://www.syrianmeds.net/histopathology-f39.html</loc>
  <priority>0.8</priority>
  <lastmod>2008-03-17T16:42:58+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>always</changefreq>
</url>

Why does this error occur?

Hello,

what is the sitemap URL you submit and what exactly is the error message (including line number where error was found)?

Sitemap URL http://www.syrianmeds.net/sitemap_1.xml.gz

There are many errors, see the attachment

this is the error:

/http://www.syrianmeds.net/histopathology-f39.html

You should be submitting: http://www.syrianmeds.net/sitemap_index.xml.gz

(But that isn't the cause of your issue. )

This file contains errors:
It points to bad location:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex
      xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="
            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/09/siteindex.xsd">
<sitemap>
    <loc>http://www.syrianmeds.net/forum/sitemap_1.xml.gz</loc>
    <lastmod>2008-03-20T02:02:28+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>

</sitemapindex>

Anyway, I have one sitemap file. there is no damage from ignoring this file.

What is your forumdisplay URL format?

In your vBSEO Sitemap Options in AdminCP, do you have a URL defined for "Sitemap Files URL"? Make sure it's correct.

You can locate the forum itself here, http://www.syrianmeds.net/forum/

Thanks, sitemap index has been resolved!

Hello,

please modify vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file:
FIND:

PHP Code:

$url = '/'. ($is_vbseo ? vbseo_forum_url($forum_id, $page) : 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

$url = ($is_vbseo ? vbseo_forum_url($forum_id, $page) : 


and regenerate sitemap.

Thanks, it works! Best regards
