vbseo sitemap issues

On a clients website - vbulletin 3.8.4, and vbseo sitemap 2.5, the sitemap_index.xml is not being created, and rather than recreating sitemap_1, it goes to sitemap_2,3, etc

I downgraded to vbseositemap 2.2, but the same issues exists.

Whats up???

Sounds like it's timing out and not completing. the index file is the last one to be written.

If it times out, it will continue where it left off until it is fully written.

You may need to increase your wait_timeout or memory_limit settings to let the script run its course.

version 2.2 is not compatible with vbseo 3.3 and higher. you should return to vbseo sitemap 2.5 ASAP

Yippeee - actually its a bug in your code regarding the timeout feature.
"Delay Execution After Each Sitemap File"
It had been set to 180. I removed the setting, and it worked again.
I suggest that you look at the coding for the delay's.

No bug there-- that's it's intended purpose. We recommend a 0-10 integer in that field. It is to relive mysql for a moment (to clear any locks, etc), not the application/script.
