Use Sitemaps

Not necessary to change those lines - they're commented out anyway.

If it was working for you, just uninstall the sitemap and remove the x2yzseo_sitemap directory in your forum root and the one xml as noted above.
 
What will I accomplish after uninstalling the sitemap? Are you saying now that I don't have to uninstall x2yzseo vbseo?
 
No, you don't have to install x2yzseo, just the sitemap. If you haven't already uninstalled it, before you do, check the write permissions on the /x2yxseo_sitemap/data directory. It should be 777 if you followed the install instructions.
 
I don't have a /x2yxseo_sitemap/ directory, I have a /vbseo_sitemap/ directory.
And I just changed it to 777 now.
 
Well, shit, that explains why it's not working. Change the following line in your .htaccess file and you should be fine.

change

Code: 
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ x2yzseo_sitemap/x2yzseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
to

Code: 
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Then run your sitemap generator in admincp and see if you can view them in your browser as explained above.
 
Ok, one hurdle done. Now, check the vbseo_sitemap/data directory and make sure that the sitemap files are indeed there. You might have to do this in cPanel due to the .htaccess in that directory that "denies all".
