[Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] can’t find control panel of this plugin

I am trying to get this Sitemaps xml plugin to install- the readme text is below. I’ve done all the steps, and it’s all set up, and installed and activated… but for the life of me, I can;t find the “options” tab to set the plugin up once it’s activated…! I’m on WP 2.6.9 or something (Last version prior to 2.7) and it’s supposed to be supported, but for the life of me I can;t find the “options” page- nothing for this plugin appears in the closest match, which is ‘settings…’

further, when I click on the hyperlink for config settings on the installed active plugin, it says insufficient permissions forhte page and this link.

the right files are set to 666….

anyone have a suggestion? help is much appreciated

1. Upload the full directory into your wp-content/plugins directory
2. Use your favorite FTP program to create two files in your WordPress directory (that’s where the wp-config.php is)
named sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz and make them writable via CHMOD 666. More information about CHMOD and how to make
files writable is available at the [WordPress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions) and on
[stadtaus.com](http://www.stadtaus.com/en/tutorials/chmod-ftp-file-permissions.php). Making your whole blog directory
writable is NOT recommended anymore due to security reasons.
4. Activate the plugin at the plugin administration page
5. Open the plugin configuration page, which is located under Options -> XML-Sitemap and build the sitemap the first time.
If you get a permission error, check the file permissions of the newly created files.
6. The plugin will automatically update your sitemap of you publish a post, so theres nothing more to do 🙂
