Jack_mcs 1,021 Posted March 17, 2017 IMPORTANT: If your shop is using the mobile addon, you can't use V 1.11 because the lack of the use of defined filenames will cause the urls for the mobile sitemaps to be incorrect.

Jack_mcs 1,021 Posted April 16, 2017 I don't see a version 16 for Ultimate SEO - maybe that was a typo. But I suggest you install V15. There's nothing in it to cause it to fail with the Gold version. But all that is needed to upgrade it is to replace the includes/classes/seo.class.php file. If the upgrade causes a failure, just replace that file with the original. Or, you could use V10 of this addon. Support Links: Need Help? See this thread and provide the information requested. Is your version of osC up to date?

lyonsperf 2 Posted May 22, 2017 Got the latest version installed on a 2.3.4 shop and was wondering how do I update the xml files on my database manually? The older version for 2.2 had a section in the admin to manually update the various files.

Jack_mcs 1,021 Posted May 22, 2017 Nothing has changed in that regard. If it is a new install, you have to make the changes to the tools file. Sounds like you missed that step.

Jack_mcs 1,021 Posted June 13, 2017 No, that isn't necessary. Once the search engines are aware of the maps they will look at them automatically. Just be sure you have added them to your google and Bing webmaster accounts. But if you want to click on the links, it won't hurt anything. 1 Psytanium reacted to this Support Links: Need Help?

sudhara429 1 Posted August 5, 2017 hi how to remove images sub folder links from image sitemap bcoz google search console get crawl error /images/Tedy Googlebot couldn't crawl this URL because it points to a non-existent page. Generally, 404s don't harm your site's performance in search, but you can use them to help improve the user experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_mcs 1,021 Posted August 5, 2017 There isn't any code in place to limit the images. But the links are built by reading in the products and their images so I don't understand how the product could not exist. Support Links: Need Help?

Jack_mcs 1,021 Posted August 5, 2017 If there is a directory as part of the image name in the database and it is not correct, you need to edit that product to remove the directory name.

For Example: This is what is generated in the sitemap: http://devsite.garrettspecialties.com/index.php?cPath=21 This is what is what the URL Should be http://devsite.garrettspecialties.com/automotive-products-auto-water-bottles-c-2_1265.html Any help on this would be much appreciated!
