Hello, how do I generate sitemap, and where is the sitemap link. Also, how to set category icons
calinbehtuk AuthorMarch 12, 2020
The sitemap is generated automatically by the cron. You have a field for each category and board to set the icon, please see the video from help page, you will find all the info in that video.

I would like to submit it manually to search engine. How do I get the link? Also, I tried setting the category icons but nothing shows when I type the icon name.
calinbehtuk AuthorMarch 12, 2020
Try to use this for icon without spaces before or after fa fa-phone . The link for you sitemap is your-site.com/sitemap-cbk-forum.xml . And you can use our forum for future questions, it more easy there. https://osclass.calinbehtuk.ro/forum/

Hello, the link returns 404 error. See it here: https://**/sitemap-cbk-forum.xml
calinbehtuk AuthorMarch 13, 2020
That means that your cron is not working or you do not have the option active from the plugin settings. Download the latest version and you will have in plugin settings the option to generate manually the sitemap.

Same issue, still getting the 404 error. Besides, I have other sitemaps on the website and they are all working except the forum.

Hello, could it be because there's no sitemap.php file in the source code? I just updated to the new version and the message was "See the sitemap: The forum sitemap file doesn't exist".
