I have the Google SEO plugin which has integrated sitemap I think?
(I can see it in the configuration tab).
But, when I want to add a sitemap to my google webmaster tools I get an error? I honestly don't know how the plugin Google SEO made a sitemap because I can't find it in my root folder..
I think adding a sitemap is a huge deal for my SEO Optimalisation.
What is the error you get?
Well its in dutch but ill translate it
sitemap-{url}.xml = URL ive entered

{url] is a place holder. Try visiting sitemap-index.xml

Same error
Looks like I found it I think.
This is the URL scheme used for the XML Sitemap pages. By default, this is sitemap-{url}.xml and your sitemap will be called sitemap-index.xml. Please note that if you change this, you will also need to add a new rewrite rule to your .htaccess. If your host does not support mod_rewrite, leave this empty. Your sitemap will then be called misc.php?google_seo_sitemap=index
does this mean my host doesnt support mod_rewrite?
I've emailed my host before and they said its ennabled by default. :s
EDIT: now theres another error:
empty sitemap
Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Check the Sitemap and resubmit.
google seo f*cked up my site...
since i tried to enable those sitemap things and url redirects ect...
i de-activated the plugin yet few links dont work on my site anymore

first link ( 'Mededelingen Computerhelp Forum')
^ your forum's normal links are working fine now.
Google SEO plugin is one of the best plugins for MyBB. it has good documentation. the plugin it self
provides required guidance on the plugins page. may be you have not clearly followed that guidance.
Ah yea I can see its working again..
It's a long documentation for the only things u have to do..
Enable all those main things meta,redirect,url, 404, sitemap.
I got the plugin library,
But I think heres the problem, when I want to add the lines in my .htacces
It still shows a yellow mark .. So it probably means it doesn't work?..
When i use the url redirect, the pages cant be found so yea.
Bump.
How come my .htacces don't work?
Guys?
How come When I place in this code and upload it, it doesnt work:
RewriteEngine on
# Some hosts require RewriteBase to make RewriteRules work.
RewriteBase /
# Google SEO workaround for search.php highlights:
# Make this rule the first rewrite rule in your .htaccess!

# Google SEO Sitemap:
RewriteRule ^sitemap-([^./]+)\.xml$ misc.php?google_seo_sitemap=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
