- This plugin dynamically creates a feed that complies with the **XML Sitemap** protocol. There are no options to be set and the feed becomes instantly available on yourblogurl.tld/sitemap.xml (or yourblogurl.tld/?feed=sitemap), ready for indexing by search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com and others.

  The front page has a fixed priority of 100% (1.0). When your site has more posts than pages (you must be using WordPress for a blog), pages have a default priority of 40% (0.4) and posts have a default priority of 80% (0.8).

This is only theoretical because if your site is popular and active, major search engines will likely be crawling your site on a very regular basis anyway. And if, on the other hand, your site is not high on the agenda of the major search engines, they will likely give no priority to your pings at all.

- You can also choose to notify major search engines of your new XML sitemap manually. Start with getting a [Google Webmaster Tools account](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/) and submit your sitemap for the first time from there to enable tracking of sitemap downloads by Google! or head over to [XML-Sitemaps.com](http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html) and enter your sites sitemap URL.

+ Feeds that comply with the XML Sitemap and Google News protocol for fast indexing by Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask and others. Multi-Site and Multi-Lingual compatible!

11
  == Description ==
12
 
13
+ This plugin dynamically creates feeds that comply with the **XML Sitemap** and the **Google News Sitemap** protocol. There are no options to be set nor file or dir access rights to be tampered with and the feeds become instantly available. One XML Sitemap on yourblogurl.tld/sitemap.xml (or yourblogurl.tld/?feed=sitemap), ready for indexing by search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com and others. And one Google News Sitemap on yourblogurl.tld/sitemap-news.xml (or yourblogurl.tld/?feed=sitemap-news), ready for indexing by Google News. Please read the FAQ's for info on how to get your articles listed on Google News.
14
 
15
  **Compatible with caching plugins** like Super Cache, W3 Total Cache and Quick Cache that cache feeds, allowing better performance to serve the hungry (impatient) spider.
16
 
17
  **qTranslate and xLanguage compatible!** Tested in Pre-Path Mode and Query Mode. Each language on your site will have its own XML Sitemap.
18
 
19
+ References are automatically added to the dynamically created **robots.txt** on yourblogurl.tld/robots.txt to tell search engines where to find your XML Sitemaps.

+ Since 3.8.5, there is a FILTER hook `xml_sitemap_url` available that lets you filter the URL for the sitemap reference in the generated robots.txt and the home URL in the sitemap. It sends both string (for single url) and array (for multiple urls) and should receive the same. See pre-packaged examples of it's use in xml-sitemap.php for the qTranslate and xLanguage plugins.

52
+ XML Sitemap Feed was originally based on the (discontinued?) plugin Standard XML Sitemap Generator by Patrick Chia. Many thanks! Since then, it has been completely rewritten and extended in many ways.
53
 
54
  == Installation ==
55
 
83
 
84
  The plugin works best from the **/mu-plugins/** folder where it runs quietly in the background without bothering any blog owner with new options or the need for special knowledge of XML Sitemap submission. Just upload the complete package content to /mu-plugins/ and move the file xml-sitemap.php from the new /mu-plugins/xml-sitemap-feed/ to /mu-plugins/.
85
 
86
+ Installed alongside [WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/), XML Sitemap Feed will **not** create a sitemap.xml nor change robots.txt for any **tag blogs**. This is done deliberately because they would be full of links outside the tags blogs own domain and subsequently ignored (or worse: penalised) by Google.

  == Frequently Asked Questions ==
89
 
90
+ = How do I get my latest articles listed on Google News? =
91
+
92
+ Go to [Suggest News Content for Google News](http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/bin/request.py?contact_type=suggest_content) and submit your website info as detailed as possible there. Give them the URL(s) of your fresh new Google News Sitemap in the text field 'Other' at the bottom.
93
+
94
+ You will also want to add the sitemap to your [Google Webmasters Tools account](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/) to check its validity and performance. Create an account if you don't have one yet.

96
+ = My Google News Sitemap is empty! =

+

+ The rules of the Google News game are that you do not feed the cookie monster any stale food. Older than 2 days is bad. You need to bake him some fresh bread ;)
99

100
  = How are the values for priority and changefreq calculated? =
101
 
102
  The front page has a fixed priority of 100% (1.0). When your site has more posts than pages (you must be using WordPress for a blog), pages have a default priority of 40% (0.4) and posts have a default priority of 80% (0.8). If your site has more pages than posts (you must be using WordPress as CMS), pages have a default priority of 80% (0.8) and posts have a default priority of 40% (0.4).
126
 
127
  No. While other XML Sitemap plugins provide pinging to some search engines upon each post edit or publication, this plugin does not. There are two reasons for that:
128
 
129
+ 1. WordPress has a built-in pinging feature. Go in your WP Admin section to Settings > Writing and make sure that the text area under **Update services** contains at least `http://rpc.pingomatic.com`. Read more on [Ping-O-Matic](http://pingomatic.com) about what excellent service you are actually getting _for free with every WordPress blog_ installation!
130
+ 1. For the average website, in my experience, pinging Google or others after each little change does not benefit anything except a theoretical smaller delay in re-indexation of your website. This is only theoretical because if your site is popular and active, major search engines will likely be crawling your site on a very regular basis anyway. And if, on the other hand, your site is not high on the agenda of the major search engines, they will likely give no priority to your pings at all.
 
 
 
131
 
132
+ You can always take a [Google Webmasters Tools account](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/) which will tell you many interesting things about your website, sitemap downloads, search terms and your visitors. Try it!
