Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[countrycharm]

Hi countrycharm,

I am having a problem here. Before I turn on the SSU, my webpage was found with robots.txt and XML sitemap, just like it had reported at http://www.woorank.com/en/www/yourpreciousgifts.com

But after I turned on the SSU, my webpage robots.txt and SML sitemap was reported not existed. Can I know how to rectify this?
What excatly happened after the URL changed and how doest it affect the SERP?

Do you have this at the top of your robots.txt?
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://www.your.com/sitemapindex.xml

Do you have SitemapXML (formerly "Google Sitemap") installed, if so have you updated your map. In admin/configuration/Sitemap XML under Use Existing Files have you set that to false so it will update your map each time you add products? This would be the only thing that would cause that. Once Simple Seo is installed Google will start deleting the old urls you had before you installed seo.

Hi, can I know where can I find the robots.txt? Where is it located?

No, I havent installed SitemapXML. Is it compulsory to install it so that it could work with SSU?

The robots.txt should be in the root on your sever if you have made one. SitemapXML works great with simple seo. You will have to be running the latest version of simple seo which is 3.8.3. If you are not running this version you can get it from here
The instructions can be found here. You also need to be running the latest Module Manager Rev 18
After that you can install sitemapxml and that should take care of your problems.
