Are you saving the settings after every code change? * Thread Starter [pfsm999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pfsm999/) * (@pfsm999) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-custom-type-post/#post-9440092) * I can’t check my php log (My website is host by OVH who don’t give access to PHP log).
