XML Nest Creator is the easiest way to generate a `sitemap.xml` file for your WordPress website. Many SEO plugins come with too many complicated settings. This simple sitemap generator does one thing perfectly: it creates a clean XML sitemap so search engines can easily find your content. #### Key Features * **Simple to Use:** Just check a box to choose which Posts, Pages, or Categories to include in your sitemap. * **No Conflicts:** It safely turns off the default WordPress sitemap so you don’t have duplicates. * **Works with SEO Plugins:** Automatically disables the sitemap feature of Yoast SEO and Rank Math, while letting you keep all their other helpful SEO features. * **Always Up to Date:** Instantly builds your `sitemap.xml` when a search engine asks for it. No cron jobs or messy files. * **Clean Settings Page:** A fast, simple settings page built right into WordPress. ## Installation 1. Upload the `xml-nest-creator` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install via the WordPress Plugin Directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. _(This automatically flushes rewrite rules!)_ 3. Navigate to **Settings > XML Nest Creator** to select the post types and taxonomies you want to include in your sitemap. 4. Visit `yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml` to see your generated sitemap live. ## FAQ ### Does it break Yoast SEO or Rank Math? No! It intelligently disables _only_ their XML sitemap generation modules via official plugin hooks (`wpseo_xml_sitemap_enable` and `rank_math/sitemap/enable`). You keep their meta tags and schema markup without duplicate sitemaps. ### Does it support Custom Post Types? Yes! The settings page automatically queries your WordPress database and lists all custom post types and custom taxonomies that are currently registered as “public”( like WooCommerce products or Portfolios). ### Where can I submit a bug or feature request?
