Strange .xmls generated inside the main sitemap

  • Hello!

    I’ve used this plugin before and had no problem with it. Now I’ve installed it again, and instead of showing normal posts and pages inside the sitemap.xml, it shows stuff like /sitemap-misc.xml, /sitemap-pt-post-2014-04.xml, /sitemap-pt-page-2014-02.xml. This affects Google Webmaster Tools. What could be the problem? Is there any solution for this issue?
    I’m currently not using it, so I can’t provide you with a link to see it, but if you type on Google “sitemap-pt-post”, you’ll see a bunch of examples.

    Hope this has a solution so I can reinstall this plugin.

    Thanks!

    Ridiculous but true, unfortunately. I will give the new test version a shot.

    Hi @arnee,

    You say that Google is using it for their own blog but .. their site isn’t on WordPress…. it’s on blogspot.

    & I tried to find where they’re using it but couldn’t ??

    I have to stick with VS 3.4 until when and if so may issues are resolved. I run too many sites. I love it as it is. It worked without issues.

    Me too. Also, I had a link to the sitemap for human visitors, in case they wanted to see a list of all the posts. Now they just see a lot of stuff that makes no sense. So definitely would prefer to keep having an old style version.

    @bcr8tive: Of course, they are not using WordPress. What I wanted to say is that they are using the same format (sitemap index and sub-sitemaps).

    @redadeptreviews: The XML sitemap is not really intended for human visitors. I highly doubt that anybody would have a look at all the URLs listed in the sitemap (without any title or description) and browse through your blog from there.

    Hi,

    I’ve posted in another thread about the same issue and don’t want to spam…but this looks like the main thread regarding format change.
    So here it goes in short form…
    The reason I don’t like this format is that it reveals the date posts were published even if I don’t want to do that.

    cheers,
    miguel
