Problem maps in forum

[ABDUR7MAAN]

Good evening
There is a problem with sitemaps
It can not control the blocking of links from the appearance of maps and this causes a problem with Google Maps rendering
The error messages appear in the submission of maps and the reason is that there are some pages blocked by the robot file
This image of some of the pages on the map is not valuable in the archive and must be prevented from archiving:

Is there a solution to the problem where the system of maps in the script is very primitive and does not have any aids that help to correctly set the numbers of maps and maps

What are the errors that Google is showing for these URLs?

It is not good that archived pages are not important and have no value in archiving
As members' and calendar pages
There should be an option to control the content of the sitemap and what content

[ABDUR7MAAN]

Is there a solution to this problem?
Because this problem is not simple.
A simple problem like this permanently hinders the script.
If there is no solution to this problem, the script is classified as not compatible with the search engines and does not benefit to build your site.
This will force customers to avoid customers to upgrade to the fifth generation and stay on the old versions because Hack has a powerful addition to generate maps with full control of the content of the map or move to another script.

Please do not bump threads for at least 24 hours.

Threads are dealt with in order of most recent response, so if you bump it, you simply delay getting an answer.

You have a robots.txt file blocking that URL to search engines.

I have brought some non-important pages such as calendar, registration, membership files and members list, where other pages are not useful, and should not be added to the map.
Why were these pages added to the sitemap and are not important?
If there is no solution to the map problem I have to go back to vb 4 , because Google does not archive the site because of the sitemap problem

[Mark.B]

There is no way to exclude individual pages from the sitemap. There wasn't in vB4 either.

What you're seeing is only a warning and doesn't cause any issues. In any event there is no real need to exclude those pages.

Note that there is no way to go back to vB4 other restoring from a backup taken before you upgraded, this would obviously result in the loss of all content created after the backup was taken.

There is no such thing as Archived pages in vBulletin. There never has been. In older versions, what was called an Archive was simply a means to get around search engine indexing issues in the early 2000's. They are not needed now and can actually harm your search engine rankings if used today.

The Calendar is simply a specialized search module showing Event topics from throughout the site. There is no need to include this as it isn't technically a content page. However, regular indexing should pick if up if you have an actual link to it somewhere in your navigation.

If you have your site set up so Guests can view User Profiles, then this would be a bug. A JIRA should be created if they are not included and "Can View Member Info" is set to Yes for the Unregistered / Not Logged In Group.

Any pages that you want to exclude, then you should create individual JIRAs for each one. They will be reviewed and implemented if deemed necessary.

sitemap in the program
Do not give options to control the content of the map.
You tell me you should not include important pages and things
There are basically no options to control the content of the sitemap as in the map generator

You are correct that there is no way to control the output of the sitemap, this is not a feature of the software.

You are welcome to log an improvement request which will be considered by the developers:
