Standard XML Sitemap Plugin

Most of Wordpress sitemap plugin is generate a sitemap file into your host. I created a Standard Sitemap Plugin just generate a xml when it need. It's like XML feed. The plugin work like XML feed. It's no file generated. It's automatic generate when need. It's also add sitemap url or your sitemap location  into current robots.txt that allow search engine crawling. No option required just install and live. The plugin is compatible with WordpressMU user too.

Installation for Wordpress User

1. Upload 'xml-sitemap.php' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
2. Upload 'feed-sitemap.php' to the '/wp-content/includes/' directory
3. check your sitemap url like http://yourblogurl.com/sitemap.xml

Installation for WordpressMU User

1. Upload 'xml-sitemap.php' to the '/wp-content/mu-plugins/' directory
2. Upload 'feed-sitemap.php' to the '/wp-content/includes/' directory
3. check your sitemap url like http://yourblogurl.com/sitemap.xml

Frequently Asked Questions

I think it's a nice plugin which required very little configuration, but it fails when using FeedBurner_FeedSmith_Plugin. sitemap.xml will then be redirected to the URL given in that addon (example of a not working sitemap on my page). Do you have a solution for that?

Hello there.

Interesting. But is there a maximum number of posts listed in the sitemap.xml ?

I have thousands of posts on my blog, but the sitemap only shows about 250 posts.

Thx

Where the folder that you install the plugin? I think you are duplicated install. If you using WordpressMU just install the file in folder mu-plugins/.

just a simple note: It looks like the newer 2.7 builds of wpmu use a $_theme_template variable to find the directory for 2. Upload ‘feed-sitemap.php’ to the ‘/wp-content/includes/’ directory

If you get a php require failure after installing the plugin just move the file into ./wp-includes/feed-sitemap.php and it should work.

BTW great plugin. i use it on all my blogs
