sitemap-builder.php

  • Hi Arnee,

    I have Google-sitemap-generator version 4.04 installed.
    For some time my security plug-in has advised me that the sitemap-builder.php file has changed, although there has been no version change. The first line of the changes explains the issue:

    $Id: sitemap-builder.php 898167 2014-04-19 15:46:23Z arnee $
    is now:
    $Id: sitemap-builder.php 906887 2014-05-02 14:03:25Z arnee $

    The first is the file that I have downloaded and the second is apparently the latest in the repository. There are dozens of lines and perhaps hundreds of changes in the second file.

    I understand if someone makes small corrections or clarifications, which does not affect the code without a version change, but should this not be a new version?

    I had expected a new version to be issued and was waiting rather than reinstalling. Should I be using the new version. If so, to get it, I presume I must uninstall and reinstall the plug-in?

    Arne,

    Now that I have had time to check everything, I find that no indexing is being done on my sites. Also reading several other posts, I see many others have similar problems. Everything was working fine before I updated to the version 4.x. At least I know now, why visits to my sites declined.

    Do I go back to the old version, try the development version or just create my own sitemap file until you get things sorted? Since my pages have only occasional changes, perhaps the latter is the quickest and safest way to fix the problem

    Being the weekend with a little more time, I tried the new version 4.0.5-beta2. It does not work for my sites either. Btw, I noticed that the sitemap-builder.php file had the same line mentioned above:
    $Id: sitemap-builder.php 906887 2014-05-02 14:03:25Z arnee $
    at the top, so now I know where it came from.

    I downloaded and installed the old version 3.4.1 and everything works as before. It was reassuring to get meaningful sitemap.xml files. Now all I will need to stop the plug-in update message, but that is the easy part.
