[Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] XML Sitemap Can't exlcude posts or pages (5 posts)

    I can't make the exclude posts or pages function work on this plug in. The instructions say to list ID's separated by a comma. I've tried all the combinations I can think of (like using http:// or not, using just the post name, with and without the hyphen).

    I'm using the latest version (3.1.0.1)of XML Sitemap. I'm also using the month and name permalink:

    (http://cheapguns.biz/index.php/2008/08/sample-post/).

    The page I'm trying to exclude is a search page, so I wonder if that's my problem. It will have a different URL based on the search term.

    Can Anyone help?

    That threw me off too. The plugin erases the invalid entries with no indication why. But then I realized the instruction says "page ID" so I put in the post# of the page and it worked.

    I was having an issue with this as well. I was using the post id's as instructed, but DID NOT have them in order.

    I put them in order, from lowest to highest and it finally worked

    Hi,
    the order does not matter, but the plugin strips out everything beside of numbers, so enter only the page IDs (separated by comma) which can be found at the post listings in the admin interface.

    I have entered the page number. Rebuilt the sitemap and it still shows up.
    I am using version 3.1.2 and wordpress 2.7.1.
