    Hi,

    Thank you for your help. I followed your instructions and found the options. I also found the “Location of your sitemap file” block. It showed both an automatic detection with two paths and a custom location with two paths.

    The custom location, showed /home/themyst8/public_html/sitemap/sitemap.xml.

    I checked with cPanel file manager and I had:
    /home/themyst8/public-html/sitemap.xml

    So I created an empty folder called sitemap in public_html, and moved the two sitemaps to it. Did a rebuild and it WORKED.

    Fantastic. I still don’t fully understand why it worked – but I’m glad that it did.

    Thanks again.

    Dennis

    I put the two files in various places, and then made the root 777.
    I received the following error:

    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/options-general.php on this server.

    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at http://www.themysterystartshere.com Port 80

    Now I’m really confused.

    Can anyone help?

    I’m not sure about the path. I can’t seem to find the “options” page you mentioned. Where would I start looking for it?

    Thanks,

    Dennis

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck.

    I now have the two files in three different places:

    /home/myaccount/sitemap.xml

    /home/myaccount/pubic_html/sitemap.xml

    /home/myaccount/www/sitemap.xml

    Still receiving the same error messages.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I went to the widgets, but did not find an About. However your idea caused me to read the rest of them a little closer. There was one called Pages.
    When I moved it to the sidebar, it showed the Page I had labeled About.

    That solved the problem.

    Thank you,
