Simple Site Map Page

Description

Simple Site Map Page can be used to build a HTML site map page easily and manually.

It uses WordPress native menus manager so you can customize your site map yourself, and it’s translation ready (Polylang, WPML and others).

Native WP menu manager is good to choose exactly what must be displayed or not in the site map, e.g if you want to prevent visitors to access private parts of your website.

If you use custom links with # target, ce plugin will automatically remove the link and replace it with a <span> element. It can be usefull to create unlinked virtual pages to structure your sitemap.

FAQ

My site map doesn’t appear on the selected page ??

After selecting your site map page in reading options, you have to build a new menu in Appearance > Menus and register it under the “Site map” location. See the screenshots provided for visual indications.

How to setup virtual pages without link?

Use custom link and the target / URL #. It will be automatically converted into simple <span> element instead of <a href="#">.

Can I use custom CSS styles?

Sure! The site map list markup is wrapped with <div class="menu-site-map-menu-container"><ul id="menu-site-map-menu" class="ssmp simple-site-map"> … </ul></div> so you can customize it quite easily.

Reviews

Very useful

Simple and effective plugin. Thanks! An interesting improvement would be to offer a shortcode that would allow you to list the sitemap wherever you like (that would replace or not the function in Settings > Reading which is not ideal in my opinion).

not user friendly

I followed the instructions and couldn’t get it to work. It seems like you have to add all your links on the editor which is pretty useless

Add a sitemap with just a few clicks

All my websites have a link to a sitemap in the footer for a better user experience. This plugin makes it very easy to create the content for that sitemap page.

Really easy to set up and use

Hey, I can see you only have one review and I thought I’d actually go to the effort of creating a Wordpress account just so I can thank you Jean-Baptiste! It is a nice, light and easy to set up plugin. Thank you!

Smart ! Good for user experience

Very good, super, bravo … The site map does not update automatically – of course – but you get the advantage of being able to organize your site map as you wish. A bonus for a better user experience : an html site map that doesn’t suck. Quelle bonne idée – What a good idea Merci ??
