VBSEO Sitemap Generator 2.6 Bug Reports

Thanks for that Mert, will do that now.

Would it be a good idea to disable the generator while it is still adding the /a/ to the urls? Will this cause issues? Or is there a fix for this that I missed?

Thanks for all the hard work guys!

Yeah would like to know if best to delete it and stop it creating new sitemaps for the time being.

This is what I have done.. seeing '1 indexed URL' was all I was getting, I didn't see any issue in deleting it.

Is anyone else getting these /a/ urls in their 2.6 sitemaps?

I'm getting this same issue, but the links do not resolve. Also getting Red X in sitemaps @ google webmaster tools.

Is now what Google tells me, was actually working again before the changes.

Hello Neal ,

It looks like you still didn't apply all bug fixes as your forum urls are still listed as a in your sitemaps. If you applied all file edits please make sure you dleete all your sitemap files and regenerate them.

I went back to the default beta sitemap as the edits just gave me blank pages so that's probably why the "a" are appearing again.

I have this error when I applied the modification:

Warning: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap_functions.php on line 976

Ive applied all edits, could someone tell me if this looks correct please

My sitemap

Your sitemap looks fine. just make sure there's no errors in google webmaster tools.
