Hello Layla,

You don't want to do that - it takes a long time for it to grow back and the older we get, the greater chance there is it may never come back

I ran your site and found a number of items, and here is the solution.

I noticed a log of phpbb pages, a ton of login pages and other data you don't need for the sitemap. I noticed that all the important content seems to be on pages ending in .html

So, I add one INCLUDE filter of:
*.html
This tells the sitemap generator to grab only these type of files.

If you do that, then you'll see that the sitemap generator will find a total of 74 good pages and 13 404 errors. The 404 errors start with page:
http://www.bonniesplants.com/HardyLilies2.html

If you follow the row with that error on the sitemap generator SITEMAP page, you'll see it is being called from this page:
http://www.bonniesplants.com/HardyLilies2.html

I'm guessing an old sitemap file that has invalid (expired) links in it?

So, just as a test, remove that page, then run the sitemap generator with the settings above and let me know what happens.

Cool site by the way! I can tell you have put a LOT of work into BonniesPlants.com

Best regards,

Jim.
