# Custom sitemap format question

 * Hi,
 * Right now, this plugin sitemap feature creates 2 different sitemap indexed:
 * – Posts
    – Pages
 * I’ve made some modifications to my site structure, so right now post and pages
   and treated the same way. Example:
 * Category: .com/keyword/ (I removed base category)
    Page: .com/keyword/ Post: .
   com/keyword/title-of-post/
 * So I don’t want to have different sitemap files for pages and post. I just need
   one simple sitemap file that lists all URLs. Is this doable with WordPress SEO?
   
   Thanks

 * Hello.
 * I am not sure about solution for issue but I am sure that [this ](https://moz.com/blog/multiple-xml-sitemaps-increased-indexation-and-traffic)
   would help you to understand the importance of different sitemap URLs.
 * Thank you

 * Thanks for the tip, but I do know why I need one single XML. By the way, that
   post does not apply to my site:
 * “Added Clarification: Adding a multiple sitemap structure does not guarantee 
   better indexation or more traffic, but it CAN have that affect. Razoo did have
   a sitemap implemented before, but they were not updated and did not reflect the
   site’s content. The results shown at the end of this post are after they implemented
   new and multiple sitemaps.”
