   Hi, I just realized my static pages are ignored by the plugin, is it normal? Because my blog has many static pages so if the sitemap doesn't include them, then Google won't index them and the sitemap is no use at all...

   Any idea? Thanks!

   Hi! I got the same problem here with wp 2.8.4. Had no problem on a local installation with wp 2.6, but after installing it on the web server - no static pages anymore.

   I tried to disable all plugins and turned off the permalinks, but this didn't help.

   As a workaround I have added all my static pages manually, but of course this is not the solution...

   Anybody any hint? Thank you.

   Have you got "Include static pages" selected in the plugin options?

   Google will still index your pages as long as they are linked somewhere on your site. Just because they don't appear in your XML sitemap doesn't mean they're invisible.

   Hi leewillis, of course I selected "Include static pages" in the plugin options.

   And of course Google will still index my pages but the purpose of this plugin is to optimize referencing. Since my blog is only static pages, I had to create an XML sitemap by myself and not use this great plugin... Pity.

   3.1.5 is out, but apparently it still doesn't include static pages into the sitemap... That's so bad, this plugin is so great :(

   But I'm still thinking maybe I am the only one (and hazematic) with this problem...

   I'm having the same problem with wp 2.8.4 and the latest version of XML-Sitemap Generator. The only pages that are showing up are post pages!

   I had the same problem. Pages are standard marked 'uncategorized'. That category was marked for exclusion in the sitemap build, once I included 'uncategorized' in the build it included all the pages.
