@Rigel Kentaurus would $ persuade you to make this work on a forum with 20 million posts?
Hi brookelyn, there is one master sitemap that refers to the other sitemaps, so search engines only need to be notified of the master sitemap. This is consistent with the sitemap standard, so it is not a problem. Also, bing and Google are automatically notified whenever a new sitemap is generated, which happens automatically according to XenForo's built in cron too. See Options > Sitemap for Xenforo and Tools > Cron for details. I hope this helps and think that this is a great tool. As far as I can tell, "it just works."I am a bit confused by this sitemap and why my site map folder has multiple sitemaps inside. With vB, I uploaded one sitemap.xml.gz to google webmasters and it constantly updated without me having to do anything more. Are you saying I need to add multiple sitemaps on a regular basis to stay up to date? I have over 1 million posts. Is this the right tool for me?
Here are my procedures to upload output files to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitemap-list?hl=en&siteUrl=:Did you upload the xml file or the HTML file? Upload the xml.gz file.
you have to submit complete filename instead of directory. for example submit: "http://yoursite.com/xx/sitemap/sitemap.threads.1.xml.gz" and all other filesHere are my procedures to upload output files to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitemap-list?hl=en&siteUrl=:
1. Admincp --> tools --> Cron Entries --> Rebuild sitemap --> Run (I also scheduled to daily run) --> I checked the output files at "public_html/xx/sitemap":
2. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools --> Crawl --> Sitemap --> Add/Test sitemap --> fill in the URL "http://mysite.com/xx/sitemap" --> Google informed the errors: "Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap."
I don't know what do next (I use ftp software to check sitemap folder, there are files inside, but if I use browser to access http://mysite.com/xx/sitemap, there are nothing inside)
Brs,

Dear Jauburn,If I add the URL to the photopost gallery attached to the forum, will this sitemap index the gallery images?
@Rigel Kentaurus any chance this could be addressed please?I manually ran the process and after about 4 minutes, got this error:
Request Timeout
This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server. If it should not be timed out, please contact administrator of this web site to increase 'Connection Timeout'.
Our connection timeout is already set high enough.
The sitemap process should really be a deferred type process so that this doesn't happen.
