Sitemap Contents in Home Directory

[Davey-UK]

Im just after a bit of info regarding the sitemap.
I have my forums in a folder on the server /forums
I have a simple html webpage in the httpdocs to act as a kind of landing page so as to not need a htaccess 301 redirect.
I have a robots.txt file in the httpdocs folder containing the following;

User-agent: *
Disallow: /forums/account/
Disallow: /forums/login/
Disallow: /forums/admin.php
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://mysite.com/forums/sitemap.php

My question is. How do i get the new static index page recognised by search engines as part of the sitemap?
Obviously i would rather use the forums sitemap as it holds lots more info for search.
Would it just automatically be picked up from what i already have set up?
Thanks in advance.

You can add URL's to the sitemap in the Sitemap Setup Generation section in the Admin Control Panel.

Would this be entered as https://domain.com
or https://domain.com/index.html
or would they work the same?
Thanks

I would use whatever is displayed in the address bar of your browser when you're on the page(s) you want to add. You should also submit your sitemaps with google and bing if you haven't already.
