    Sitemap Cron not working

    Hi,

    I setup vbseo sitemap about two weeks ago. I'm runnin VB 3.7 RC3. Sitemap works good, but the cron never runs automatically (had set for default 2am daily).

    All my other vb and site crons run without issue. I have since setup cron to run directly from cpanel and that works without issue.

    Wondering what issue is though that's stopping from running directly through VB. Also disabled the sitemap cron that automatically gets setup during install and manually created the same cron in the vb admin panel but it still didn't work. It works if I manually run it, but never auto. Thought maybe it didn't run since I manually did, but had left it for about 48 hours and it still didn't run.

    Using the cpanel cron and it works now, but would like to figure this out if possible. Didn't find anybody with this problem in search.

    There are a few, but only those from when I manually ran the sitemap generator. The last entry for that was on the 14th even though I've manually ran it since then.

    Is the "next execution time" displayed correctly for the generator task?

    It always says Today @ Time Specified

    Today I had set it to run at 12:50PM while I was testing. Time came and went, still says "Today 12:50 PM," even after I manually ran it about an hour after that time passed.

    My problem was sitemap wouldn't generate automatically at all so not sure if your issue is related.

    Resolution to my problem was running yoursite/fourm/cron.php? manually to make the tasks runs as my new site wasn't getting enough traffic to make them run automatically. Wasn't a vbseo problem, just a new low traffic site problem.
