Sitemap does not include empty taxonomies or categories

  • It seems the plugin does not include urls of taxonomies or categories which dont have any posts directly under them.

    We are using this for woocommerce on one site, and only bottom-level taxonomies and categories which have any product/post assigned are listed in sitemap.

    There isnt any setting in admin side to make these urls appear either.

    We need to be able to show empty higher level taxonomies/categories in the sitemap. If we can do this through any hooks or modifications which wont go away when the plugin is updated, that also works.

    Thanks.

    I have modified src/modules/taxonomy.php to have it put into sitemap all the taxonomies regardless of post counts.

    However, naturally, this is a modification which will go away next time we update the plugin.

    We need a more reliable and permanent way of doing that – through hooks, actions or modules. An option in settings would be much more appreciated.

    Hello, thanks for using BWP Sitemaps!

    For now, you can navigate to Advanced Options >> Sitemap modules, and provide a custom module directory. Put your taxonom.php file there, and it won’t be overwritten by the next update.

    I will consider an option for this though.

    I was looking for the same feature. Put me down as a plus one on adding that functionality. It would be great to have an individual settings for each taxonomy/category to select whether to show empty terms or not.

    In the meantime I’ve modified the src/modules/taxonomy.php with conditionals for my taxonomies and will use the Sitemap modules feature.

    Thanks.
