[Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Early testers wanted

    Hi,

    I’m currently working on a new version of the plugin which will have some major changes. To test this new features, I need your help. You can grab the new version here:

    http://www.arnebrachhold.de/redir/sitemap-dl-beta/

    Please note that it is in a very early stage and not suitable for production sites. Please also note that you have to delete your sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz after installation since they are not used anymore (but break the new plugin).

    What has changed:
    Dynamic sitemap generation
    There are no static files anymore. This will solve 99% of the problems users are having. All content is generated dynamically.

    Sitemap Index File
    To reduce the amount of needed CPU and memory, the sitemap is split into sub-sitemaps. The main sitemap file is now only a index file which links to them. With that change you can have an unlimited number of URLs as long as they are spread over multiple months.

    WordPress MU support
    Without having static files, MU and multi-site support is no problem anymore.

    New developer API
    With the new API, developers can build plugins which can create sub-sitemaps to support an unlimited number of items.

    Installation:

    • Install the plugin normally
    • Delete your existing sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz
    • Browse to http://www.yourblog.com/sitemap.xml if using rewrite permalinks, or index.php?xml_sitemap=index if not.

    At the moment, WordPress 3.0 and PHP 5.2 is the only tested configuration. Please let me know if you have problems with other setups.

    I can not get any of the google sitemaps to work. The best i ever got was the homepage and any static pages. I use permalinks. What do I need to do.

    I have recently implemented several custom post types to create a better structure for my site http://kungfudestiny.com. I have encountered several hindrances moving to this architecture, one being that the sitemap did not include the custom post types. I have installed your latest beta and it is working great, however while I can see it including some custom taxonomies it does not include my custom post types. This effectively is cutting my sitemap down to half it’s size. Is there any way to include that in the sitemap or is it a coming addition to the plugin?

    Thanks for all your hard work on this great plugin Arne.

    Loving the beta, but having some minor issues… It appears that requests for any of the sitemap URLs are returning a 404 header status, rather than a 200, which is triggering errors in Google Webmaster Tools etc.

    Easy fix?

    Facing same issue as mentioned by mtalbert custom post types are not getting added into sitemap in this beta version everything else is working fine.

    Hi Arne? What’s the status? I need to get a working sitemap for a client and might be able to help you fix bugs and get it out the door…

    I’ve installed 4.0b4

    I installed it on a 3.1 MultiSite setup.
    Activated it on a SINGLE site and when I go to /sitemap.xml I get a 404
    But when I go to ?xml_sitemap=index it works fine.

    I looked into the wp_rewrite object and sure enough, there’s no rules for your plugin being added.

    Here’s my object: https://gist.github.com/2f4b0a91c3b26097f467

    I’ll start messing with the code. I have written my own plugins that interact with the rewrite object successfully and I should be able to make this work.

    Where would you like me to submit a patch to?

    Your plugin is failing on this:

    if(get_option("sm_rewrite_done", null) != self::$rewriteVersion) {

    When I moved self::ActivateRewrite(); outside of that – it started working.

    /wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-loader.php Line 63-65

    New code for /wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-loader.php :

    62     # Impose rewrite rules at all times.
 63     self::ActivateRewrite();
 64
 65     //Fix rewrite rules if not already done on activation hook. This happens on network activation for example.
 66     #if(get_option("sm_rewrite_done", null) != self::$rewriteVersion) {
 67     # self::ActivateRewrite();
 68     #}

    I’ll use this until a patch is released.

    Hi guys,

    Arne hasn’t replied to this thread for 4 months, so I guess we’ll just have to help each other out while he’s busy with some other commitments.

    Just wondering if you have encountered a blank page when you go to /sitemap.xml , and if you’ve found a way to fix it?

    I’m using version 4.0b4, running on 3.1 Multisite with Domain Mapping.

    When I ran the debug,
    I found a this error:

    Sitemap: misc/(No parameters) by GoogleSitemapGeneratorStandardBuilder

    http://ivan.sg/
    http://ivan.sg/sitemap.html

    I’d appreciate any help / feedback, Thanks.

    sterlo,

    Your fix seems to work for /sitemap.xml, but not any of the child sitemaps – these are still returning 404 errors 🙁

    JonoAlderson,

    Could you give me some example paths?

    I may end up forking the project if it goes unmaintained – I’ll link to it if that ends up being the case.
