Sitemap Generator Forum

I just loaded this on the server Standalone XML Sitemap Generator and now realize that is all I understand of getting this going. Should have paid the extra $10 and will if someone here can help?

I have the files loaded on the server and the permissions set per instructions, just dont know how to execute the program and look at the log files???

Help please!

Hello,

make sure that you completed all steps from https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/howto-install.html

Last part is:
To access your sitemap generator enter your website address ([ External links are visible to logged in users only ]) and follow the on screen instructions.

I am getting a Page Not Found - 404 Error Page for ([ External links are visible to forum administrators only ])

OK I think I get this ([external links are visible to admins only]) and need to be logged in or something to be on the right page.

But now I have gone beyond this program and went to PRO and got that working.

I have  a few questions??

#1- PRO is saying to put the whole file [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
including the .gz into the robots.txt file. Problem with the .gz on the end of the string it does not open as a .xml is this correct to have the .gz in the robots.txt file? By the way I did do it this way, just wondering?

#2- I did an Automatic submit to Google and went through all of the steps until it was completed fully. My question is, do I which I did delete the old sitemap.xml that was on the our server? And why after I did the Automatic submit to Google in webmaster tools the automatic submission is not showing up?

TY

I did the install to spec but can not get generator to open. Can we get some help willing to pay?

Hello,

#1 yes, it's recommended to submit gzipped sitemap - search engines will recognize it.

#2 you can remove old sitemap now that new one is submitted. You can see details for the sitemap under *.hostedsitemaps.com domain entry in webmaster tools.

#3 you can order installation service if needed here: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/generator-addons.html
