Sitemap Generator Forum

So my site has just around 50,000 pages to index. Google's Webmaster Tools is telling me that my sitemap has TOO MANY URL's to add to it's database, even though I haven't run the generator since it was at ~ 40,000 pages (39,491). Why would google say it's too many? How can I make the generator make only 20,000 URL's per XML file?

Hello,

Google allows up to 50,000 URLs *per sitemap file*.
You can decrease the number though in generator/config.inc.php file:
'xs_sm_size' => '20000',

and regenerate sitemap.
Make sure that you create sitemap1.xml, sitemap2.xml etc files in domain root and set 0666 permissions for them so that sitemap generator can store multifiles sitemap.
