Sitemap generation problem

I'm trying to generate a new sitemap for our forum. VBSEO keeps looking for a table called "'DATABSAE_NAME.albumpicture", cant find it and therefore no sitemap . There is no AlbumPicture table in my database.

Hello,

"albumpicture" is not a default table of vBulletin, so that it likely relates to a third-party add-on used to fetch extra content from your database and add it to your sitemaps. Do you have any entries in the "Addon Generator Modules" setting in your Admin CP -> vBSEO -> vBSEO Sitemap Settings area? If so, then make sure that no add-ons are being listed there (unless you've specified one).

Besides, you may want to choose 'No' for certain types of content. Please see for details:

vBSEO Sitemap Generator : Quality vs Quantity

Ideally, only pages with relevant content should be added to your sitemaps (i.e showthread and forumdisplay pages.).

I recetly moved the forum from another domain to a new one. In the old one I had "PhotoPost" which is a gallery script but there wasnt anything in the Add/Remove Products of VBulletin to remove.

Now its looking for another table called 'tagthread'. Why is VBSEO searching for all these tables that don't exist? How can I force it to reset what it thinks our forum has?
Thanks

Sitemap Generator only search for tables that are included by you through settings. Please let us know the exact error you receive so we can assist further.

I excluded enough stuff so that it would generate a sitemap but now im getting the error below

Hello ,

Do you see any error when you try to generate sitemap files manually ?

No, here is the link: http://www.hookah.org/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz
It should be view-able to anyone

I dont even have the file in my FTP. Should I be creating it somehow? Or is VBSEO creating that file?

Hi Nima,

vBSEO keeps looking at the DB because the products were added and maybe you've them there but disabled. So, if you can uninstall them or at least disable all of those unused plugins then you'll not see those errors.

Also, be sure that you've the file permissions to write the sitemap, as the script needs those permissions to create the file in the server.

What are the correct permission for what files?
Thanks

Hello Nima ,

You are only required to change vbseo_sitemap/data folder chmod settings and it should be set to chmod 777.
Please also make sure you didn't change chmod settings for vbseo_sitemap folder.

My VBSEO sitemap is 755 and data folder is 777
Its still not working and honestly getting kind of annoying.

I don't see any sitemap files in my forum root folder. Should there be one to overwrite or will VBSEO create one by itself? Any other ideas on how to get the sitemap working?

sitemap files are created within vbseo_sitemap/data folder . What happens if you manually try to create sitemap files from vBSEO Sitemap Generator interference ?
