Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Sitemap by BestWebSoft – WordPress XML Site Map Page Generator Plugin

Sitemap plugin generates the "sitemap.xml" file, which is located in the website root directory. You can add this file to your Google Tools account. The plugin cannot apply any visual changes to your website.

After opening the Settings page the sitemap.xml file will be created automatically in the site root.

Check the plugin version and the folder permissions (it is better to use 644 or 755). You should create both files manually ("robots.txt" and "sitemap.xml") and set permissions to 755 for both.

You should edit '.htaccess' file which is located in the root of your WordPress installation. Please open it with a text editor and add the following code to the end of this file: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule robots\.txt$ index.php?gglstmp_robots=1 </IfModule> Also, "Search Engine Visibility" option should be unmarked on the Settings > Reading page. I have a large number of posts and sitemap file isn't created Try to increase an available memory limit (i.e. up to 256M) by adding the following lines to your 'wp-config.php' file: ini_set('memory_limit','256M'); define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
