Just installed the "Unlimited Sitemap Generator" but failed on my first run with the following error message:


There was an error while retrieving the URL specified: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
HTTP Code:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
HTTP headers:

Hello,

it looks like your server is blocking requests from own server's IP - as a result sitemap generator is not able to crawl the site.

is there any workaround solution?

btw, i have recently connected my site to the Cloudflare service, is it the problem?

Hello,

it should work correctly, just make sure that cloudflare doesn't block your server's IP.

thx~

for those who are using Cloudflare too, fyi.
select "CDN Only" for "Performance profile" then the XML generator will run as usual.
