xmlsitemapgenerator

Hi,

We don’t have a feature to do this at the minute, but it is on the request list.

You would need to edit the plugin code.

In core.php there are two places it would need to change :

Line 150
echo “\nSitemap: ” . $base . “xmlsitemap.xml\n”;

Line 176
$newRules[‘xmlsitemap\.xml$’] = ‘index.php?xml-sitemap=xml’;

Hi,

How are you configuring your 404/redirects?

A simple workaround might be to create a category/tag for your redirects and then exclude this from your sitemap.

Thanks. glad to help.
Let us know if you have any problems or suggestions.

Hi, as we haven’t heard from you and haven’t been able to replicate the issue, I’m going to close this issue. If you need any further help please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks.

So it could be a few things but most likely there is a problem with url rewriting on your setup.

Rewriting enables our plugin to register a custom url so you get a friendly
/XmlSitemap.Xml address.

It may be that they are not enabled on your system or it is not working properly with our plugin.

If your wordpress blog works in any mode other than “plain” then it suggests that url rewriting is working. If it doesn’t then this confirms the problem.

This is outside the scope of what I can support and I would advise caution if you are not experienced in this area. Such settings have the potential to damage your website/blog if not configured correctly, including damaging your SEO / SEPR.

If you can confirm that permalinks / url rewriting does work then I can investigate further.

Okay thanks.

Is that the only plugin you are using?

What is your permalink setting (Plain, etc.)
menu > settings > permalinks

Did you install via network / multi-site admin?

Ok, there is definitely something strange going on.

When I navigate to : https://keywestfloridakeysconcierge.com/xmlsitemap.xml

I would expect to see our sitemap , but I see your about us page, which is why google is telling you it is an HTML page.

The first thing worth a try is deactivating and reactivating the plugin to in case it didn’t register properly.

There may also be a conflict with another plugin. You may be able to tell this by selectively deactivating other plugins, in particular anything that might interfere with custom urls, webpages, redirects, etc.

Hello.

the first thing to check is that you are using the correct URL. Our plugin produces a number of pages.

The one you need is :
/xmlsitemap.xml

If this is returning HTML then there is probably a problem with your install or a conflict with another plugin. It may also be a bug.

Could you let me know your website address so I can take a look at your sitemap please?

Thanks for your positive feedback.

Ideally we need to see the error messages from your browser which you can see in developer tools. In particular the script console. https://developer.chrome.com/devtools

As I suspect this is related to conflict with your particular set up I will mark this as closed, but if you would like me to investigate further I can assist you with obtaining the necessary script errors from your browser to help us diagnose the problem.

Hi,

Did you have any luck?
If we haven’t heard from you in a few days we’ll mark this as resolved as we are unable to reproduce the issue.

This sounds like a Javascript issue preventing the drop-downs populating properly. We have usually found this to be some sort of conflict with another plugin.

What browser are you using?

If you are familiar with developer tools could you take a look at the console and network tab to see if there are any errors?

Hi,

This appeared to be a problem with network (multi-site) activation.
We have published a new version (1.2.3) which addresses the install issue.

If you are struggling to access the dashboard you may need to manually remove the faulty plugin : \wp-content\plugins\www-xml-sitemap-generator-org

Deleting or renaming www-xml-sitemap-generator-org will deactivate the plugin and allow you to access the dashboard.

You can then remove the plugin from the dashboard and install 1.2.3 should you still wish to.

We have replicated this problem and the resolution in our test environment so I am marking this as resolved. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

The plugin probably isn’t suited to huge websites as it only supports a single sitemap file for which the limit is 10Mb and 50,000 urls.

It also generates the sitemap in real time.

How big is your site?

Thanks!
