Choose which WordPress content appears

Sitemap Pro generates XML sitemaps and a site map page. You can include pages, posts, post categories, post tags, custom post types, custom taxonomies, and custom URLs. Sitemap files help web crawlers find a website's URL structure, and the plugin can add the sitemap path to robots.txt automatically.

Set rules for custom and external entries

Add external sitemap files and set how often their content changes. Custom URLs let you include addresses outside the standard WordPress content types. You can exclude selected pages or post types, filter taxonomy content by word, and change the sitemap filename. On a multisite network, configure all subsites. Title and meta description fields are editable.

Configure sitemap output and connections

• Generate media sitemaps and include canonical URLs for pages and posts.
• Set a maximum number of URLs per sitemap file and split sitemap output across files.
• Disable automatic canonical tags, or include or exclude noindex pages for the main site.
• Add alternate-language pages when using the Multilanguage plugin.
• Add a sitemap to Google News and connect to Google Webmaster Tools to add a site, add or delete a sitemap, and retrieve website information.

Set up the plugin

Install and activate the Sitemap plugin in WordPress, then open its options. Configure the content types, URLs, exclusions, external sitemap files, and other options for the site. If needed, connect Google Webmaster Tools and add the generated sitemap. Review the settings and save the configuration.
