Choose sitemap content

Sitemap Pro generates WordPress XML sitemaps and a site map page. Select pages, posts, categories, tags, custom post types, custom taxonomies, and custom URLs for inclusion. Sitemap files give web crawlers a structured list of site content, and the plugin can add the sitemap path to robots.txt automatically.

Manage files and included URLs

Add external sitemap files and set their content-change frequency. Custom URLs cover addresses outside the standard WordPress content types. You can exclude selected pages or post types, exclude taxonomy content by word, and change the sitemap filename.

Set sitemap output options

• Generate media sitemaps and include canonical URLs for pages and posts.
• Set a maximum URL count for each sitemap file and split sitemaps across multiple files.
• Disable automatic canonical tags or choose whether the main site includes noindex pages.
• Add alternate-language pages when using the Multilanguage plugin.
• Add a sitemap to Google News.

Configure multisite and metadata

For a multisite network, configure all subsites from the plugin settings. Sitemap Pro also lets you edit title and meta description fields. It can connect with Google Webmaster Tools to add a site, add or delete a sitemap, and retrieve website information.

Install and configure

1. Install the Sitemap plugin in WordPress, activate it, and open its settings.
2. Configure content types, URLs, exclusions, external sitemap files, and any other options the site needs.
3. If needed, connect Google Webmaster Tools and add the generated sitemap.
4. Review the settings and save the configuration.
