    Question include old urls option

    I just installed vbseo and kept the default settings.
    and now I installed the sitemap.

    in the sitemap control panel Should this be 'yes' or 'no': If you have vBSEO, include old urls?

    Isn't this option already set to yes in the default vbseo settings?
    Is there any problem if I set this to yes (sitemap cp) and leave the default settings (in vbseo) as it is? (which means both would be yes)

    It is recommended to keep this setting on for only couple month. If you are using vBSEO for a long time you shall not enable that feature.

    Thanks Mert.

    So after I couple of months, should I disable it from both sitemap cp and vbseo cp?

    But it says this in the vbseo control panel under the 301 Redirect Original content setting.

    "Note: It is recommended to leave this setting always ON."

    so should it always be left on or should it be turned off after a few months? thanks

    Those are different options: "If you have vBSEO, include old urls" is a vBSEO Sitemap Generator setting, while "301 Redirect Original content" is a vBSEO product setting.

    or
    2. One of them should be turned off? Which one?

    and after approximately
    3. how many months or weeks?

    Thanks for the help.

    yes, we understand that. Mert Gökçeimam said above to turn them both off but the recommendation in vbseo is to keep is always on.

    can you help clear up weather we are supposed to turn both off or just the one in sitemap generator?

    Only the "If you have vBSEO, include old urls" option should be disabled.
