I’m seeing if I can get Simply Static to include Yoast sitemaps in the output.

It’s not too hard to get it started – I’ve added the following to ‘Additional URLs’:

https://example.com/sitemap.xml
https://example.com/sitemap_index.xml
https://example.com/post-sitemap.xml
https://example.com/page-sitemap.xml
https://example.com/category-sitemap.xml
https://example.com/post_tag-sitemap.xml
https://example.com/author-sitemap.xml

But unfortunately, sitemap.xml is a 301 redirect to sitemap_index.xml. When visiting it on the static site, it ends up as a plain XML file with this HTML in it:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Redirecting...</title>
		<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/sitemap_index.xml">
	</head>
	<body>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			window.location = "/sitemap_index.xml";
		</script>

		<p>You are being redirected to <a href="/sitemap_index.xml">/sitemap_index.xml</a></p>
	</body>
</html>
```
This isn’t really the fault of Simply Static, but I’m wondering if anyone has come across this and thought of a simple solution.

I may need to just manually run a script after generation to remove the file and instead put a manual 301 redirect in on my host (AWS S3)…. but I’m keen for other ideas!

Actually, on further digging, this is the way Simply Static works ??

The redirect is created in includes/tasks/class-ss-fetch-urls-task.php in the handle_30x_redirect() function. As part of this, a redirect page is created similar to the above.

This (sort of) works for HTML files, but doesn’t work for XML files.

The reason is only sort of works for HTML files is that the server will still send a 200 OK response, which is not really a 301/302 redirect.

Of course we could write a custom script to pick up this template and do custom logic to create a 30x instead, but I wonder if there’s anything else Simply Static can do to help here. Maybe a filter to modify this behaviour – or at least to change the template without needing to edit the plugin’s views directly?

Just thinking out loud here, not sure yet what the best solution is or whether it even should be part of Simply Static.

A couple of other findings in case they help others:

– You _must_ use absolute URLs if you’re using sitemaps (with Yoast at least). If you’re using relative URLs, Google will complain that the links in the sitemaps are invalid.
– Simply Static will still follow all the links to the other sitemaps, so you only need to include https://example.com/sitemap.xml in your Additional URLs setting.
– I’m currently working around the 301 redirect issue by just manually ‘moving’ sitemap_index.xml to sitemap.xml before I sync to my host.
