Sitemap Generator Plugin for Wordpress

Great plugin ! One query - the “exclude category” feature isn’t working for me - using 2.7

Any ideas ?

Ian

Great plugin-i see that some people had issues with wordpress 2.8? Does it work?

Susan,

You need the page ID ‘number’ if you want to exclude a page. Go to the ‘Edit Pages’. Copy the link location of the page you want to exclude and inspect the URL to get the page id number. See the below URL of a page with ID 28:

http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=28

Good luck,

Bart

Great plugin. Can’t exclude a page although I paste the URL of the page I want to exclude from the sitemap in the Exclude posts field

Any Ideas?

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I followed the instructions. Trying to simply have a page called sitemap on http://www.calycanto.com/sitemap/ I am a newbie of sorts but have navigated most issues on my site w/o too much work. I do not understand if I simply post a page called sitemap (nothing shows) much like I do w Archive or whether I need to post some code. Also, I don’t understand if the slug is simply “Sitemap” or “www.calycanto.com/sitemap/” but neither accomplishes anything. I assume it is simply sitemap.

Hi,
Thx for the Plugin but i have one little problem. I use Wordpress 2.8 and since i install your plugin i have little problem with the admin panel. If i use edit buttons or search in posts it only shows me a blank page… or if i edit e post and than save changes, shows me a blank page, too.

Can u check this pls and maybe give us an updated version that works with wordpress 2.8

Thx in advance

HI, I’m tryng to developped a site map but I got a problem. I just want to display the post of the child category. The way your plugin work is that the parent category display all the posts related to the subcategory and then the subcategory displayed the same article.

How can I remove the post in the main category and display the subcategory with there post.

I used this for my commercial 700+ page site and it worked perfectly in a template page with wordpress ver. 2.8

thanks great plugin. managed to make it work here

Hi,
Nice plugin. Always like the sitemap to show what’s on a site.
Is there any manner to show subposts in the sitemap?
Example:
A post contains some pictures with the size from thumbnails.
Clicking on that picture shows the picture with medium size. With this I mean this is the subpost. In this subpost is possible to leave a comment. But you won’t see it back in the sitemap.

View the post: http://frans.rednalloh.nl/2009/06/02/aicha-en-najwa/
View the subpost: http://frans.rednalloh.nl/2009/06/02/aicha-en-najwa/20090531_najwa04/

So the comment of the subpost is not visible in the sitemap. Any way to do it?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Frans

Doesn’t work…
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /////tjportfolio.com/wp-content/plugins/sitemap-generator/sitemap-generator.php on line 511

Any help greatly appreciated…

Thanks for your hard efforts making this plugin.
I’d find it useful if the pages and post lists were wrapped in divs. Then, we could do stuff like running them in 2 columns. I’ve managed to hack it easily enough to do this but others might also want this functionality?

Feature Request
I’d like to mix pages and posts together - popping my post list inside my blog page list item like so.
I’ve tried hacking it, but could you give me some pointers?

<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Blog
  <ul>
     <li>Post name 1 </li>
     <li>Post name 2 </li>
  </ul>
</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>

Thanks
Ian

Hello, and thank for plugin!

Aaargh what have I done? I accidentally moved my plugins out of the plugin folder, and then moved them back. I’ve reactivated DDSitemapgen … but since then I don’t get a page fully loading.

It shows the title and then stops. Any ideas?

Good Plugin. this is the first plugin which i have installed for my blog. And it worked…! God Work keep them coming more.

Thanks.. I’m using it on my blog

So wish I could ditch “Category” and “Site Map” headers, but cannot figure it out! I just want a list of all the articles on our site as a sort of press release index. Anyone figure this out, please post!

Awesome plugin! Thanks.

It looks ok. You can check it out here http://dentalcategories.com/?page_id=5

I am wondering if theres any other way to just show the main categories with available drop down menu for subs?

thanks for this useful plugins

already put it at my blog. Its really great plugin. I like it.

Thank you for this plugin!

HI Nice plugin but i don’t know how to put sitemap on my site as you did. So any body help me to build a sitemap on my site using this amazing plugin?

Fantastic work, thanks for share!

Great ! over 1303 comments

Hey, we need you to be on the WP repository! We update over 50 WP sites, and upgrading your plugins via the repository automagically would be more wonderful!

Thanks!

already try it today. Just hope it will help me a lots.

What would be the sitemap address after the plugin generate it so i can use it to submit to google, thanks a lot great stuff

hi i have use this plugin for my site. This is absolutely fantastic

I just uploaded/activated this plugin and the resulting page is empty
http://uksurveysclub.com/paid-surveys-club-site-map-2/

And I have no idea why

Thanks for this easy to use plugin. I use it on all my wordpress websites.

Hi. Is it possible to get “Pods” (http://pods.uproot.us/) included, aside from Posts or Pages? Thanks!

I Like This theme So Much Very Simple T Customize..

iam still error in webmaster tools since i install ddsitemapgen. you say ” If you are also using an XML sitemap plugin, you can enter the path to the XML file here, and a link to it will be added to your sitemap page ” where is the path ??? pleas help blog with your plugin. thanks

Thank you for a great plugin.
I, like Kristan, would like to see the ability to make it collapsible. Please consider this in a near future update.

Regards
Michael Johansen

I use this plugin and have really appreciated/enjoyed it, but I would love it more if it were collapsible. (As in, people could expand/collapse categories to see the posts within.) Thanks!

Have a problem:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/a4319633/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitemap-generator/sitemap-generator.php on line 511

Sorry for the double post.

I’ve added the <!-- ddsitemapgen --><code>/ quick tag to the page in html mode, but I still don't get the sitemap. I've created a page called sitemap for this. It's like the filter isn't getting hooked to <code>the_content(), but I’m just guessing since the action after (adding it to options) does in fact work.

If I edit the page.php and insert <?php echo ddsg_create_sitemap(); ?>, I do get a sitemap, but of course then its on everypage, which is not what I want.

I’m assuming there is some incompatibility of some sort, but I can’t figure it out.

Thanks for the plugin, very useful.

HI,

Great plugin ! Everything works perfect except it’s not compatible with gTranslate plugin. After I installed gTranslate, I see multilanguage titles with brackets. Is there any way to tweak this?

can anyone tell me exactly how many times in a month can a sitemap be updated so that google doesnt penalize me! Thanks!

Regarding the previous comment: sorry, my fault. I had also a Google XML sitemap generator plugin installed, which stores its sitemap file in the blog’s root directory, too and this interferes with any other sitemap generating plugin. After I’ve deactivated this plugin, your’s runs fine.

Is there any update for wordpress 2.71?

Hi there. I’ve used your great plugin on many sites for quite a while now, without issue. I installed it on a site recently and get this error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitemap-generator/sitemap-generator.php on line 513

It’s got me beat, the sitemap.xml is ok but your plugin wont run. Thanks for any help.

Just installed the plugin, created the sitemap page, added the code in the html side of the window, updated permalinks but all i get is a 404 not found error.
I’m running v2.7.1 is this the reason why it will not work??

Hi, great plugin! Thanks for including the ability to use it in template files too, that’s a great feature.

I’d like to suggest a couple of additions and changes to it.
First, can the ability to alter the post link code be added? I’d like to add some custom code to and around them, such as custom CSS classes, etc.
Second, can the option to exclude the Post title and the dagon design link be added? I’ve no objection to setting up a plugin “plug” page that lists all the plugins used, and I am a donator for all plugins that I’m using on online sites. I just need the posts displayed and nothing else if possible, as it’s being integrated into a UI.
Third, can the ability to subsort by tag or custom field be added? I’m trying to set up different orders of the posts for different user needs, and none of the standard blog sorts are adequate for their needs.

Again, thanks for making such a great plugin!

Hi All,
I have a query:
I have two plugins Google XML plugin and DagonDesign Pulgin to generate Sitemap.
I have submitted XML sitemap to Google Webmaster which indexed only 175 out of 315 posts.
Can some one suggest me how add sitemap to Google Webmaster which includes all posts.
Does this is possible with Dagondesign Sitemap?? please share your ideas.

please, how can i translate sitemap?
for site i use ZdMultiLang.

thankyou.

I require assistance please. I can’t seem to get anything but the XML sitemap displayed on my sitemap page: http://infinitywealthteam.com/sitemap.

I’ve tried to follow the directions precisely, but can’t seem to determine what I’ve done wrong.

Thanks,

Darby

Bob, you must add them directly into your css, they are not there to begin with. Hope that helps.

Lance

Hey, what a neat plugin…. I used to spend ages manually creating sitemaps before I found this tool.
Thanks, really appreciated.

Creative Web Design (and serial blogger!)

thank you so much !!! ..

I was almost tired of trying to integrate sitemap in my blog.
thanks for your help..

thanks for your plugins, but i have one question for you, why the sitemap plugins from you error in google webmaster sitemap? thanks a lot for your answer

Hi,

thank you for your nice plugin. I´m just missing one feature. I want that all Categories are Listed in the Sitemap but not the Postings in some Categories. Is this possible to realize?

Regards.

Just installed the plugin, created the sitemap page, added the code in the html side of the window, updated permalinks but all i get is a 404 not found error. I’m running v2.7.1 is this the reason why it will not work??

Oh, read right now post 1235. thanks for solution and sorry for question 1!!!

But Still have problems with multilanguage site map.
thks for helping me.

Hello,

I want a long pages with more titles and I don’t want short (and many) pages . . .
How can I to regulate it parameter?

Please, help me

Post titles with html formatting are showing the html tags in the site map. I’m using the latest version. Any ideas? Thanks!

Would you please add the function ordered by tag cloud?
tks.

Just to inform others that I couldnt get the 2,3.4… pages to work. I was changing back to default language english and it works.

Seems like the other issue I had below by missing redirection after posting/commenting was solved by changing to english language file. Seems like some error in my language file than.

Great plugin, but I have an issue. All works good after installation, sitemap is good, but when adding/updating posts or send comments, than plugin cause the site to hang on this URL
http://www.riksavisen.no/wp-admin/post.php

with just a white page. not redirection as normal.

When I deacktivate plugin, all is good again. Have updated permalinks after activation.

Any ideas ? Because I really need this plugin to work

Love this plugin, pretty much couldn’t be easier to setup and configure! Thank you!

One Request: is there a way to include a ‘blurb’ after each link entry? Perhaps the tags could be used or the meta description? Thanks much!

One of the best plugins ever. I’m using it on all my blogs. Really great.

Hi, after activating the plugin I can’t see where to find it to view options. When I click Settings to see all my activated plugins, this one is not on the list even though it is activated. Any help? Thanks.

Hi, I don’t understand the pageslug and what to fill in. I am using permalinks /%category%/%postname%/. What should I do?

I second 1087, and not just because we’re both named Tim. My client has many more categories to exclude than include. So adding text boxes to opt in would make this plugin perfect. Please, please, please.

Also, FYI, I just loaded this into 2.7 and it works fine, if you did not know. Thanks for a great plugin!

Just added the sitemap navigation to my blog. It was easy to do, just need to do a little formatting.

Nokia Themes - I had the same problem you did. I removed the permalink slug in the options, and after that everything worked fine.

I just installed the most actual version and I wonder why there is still english text which is not translated by the language files, for example here:

“if ($total_pages > 1) {

if ($page_nav == 1) {

$output1 .= “Page ” . $current_page . ” of ” . $total_pages;

if ($current_page > 1) {
$output1 .= ‘ : Previous Page‘;
}

if ($current_page < $total_pages) {
$output1 .= ‘ : Next Page‘;
}

$output1 .= “”;

} else if ($page_nav == 2) {

$output1 .= ‘Pages: ‘;

for ($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++) {
if ($i == $current_page) {
$output1 .= $i . ” “;
} else {
$output1 .= ‘‘ . $i . ‘ ‘;
}
}

$output1 .= “”;

}

}”

Hi,
I am the user of 1.5.2.This is your great achievement.Great plugin.

I have a weird problem. When I go to update my options, the server hangs. Then I get a network timeout to the connection.

I’ve tested all other plugins and it only happens to this one. Everything else is up and running — no hanging, no timeouts.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thank’s a lot
Works great ang nothing hard in installation

Hallo,

habe das Plugin in die Version 2.6.3 heruntergeladen und aktiviert.
Die Seite für die Sitemap wurde in einer Unterseite angelegt.

Bei der Einstellung für Sitemap-Generator wird nach dem Pfad der Sitemap gefragt.

Siehe :
Sitemap Seiten Pfad:
Wenn Sie Permalinks benutzen, geben Sie den Pfad zu ihrer Sitemap-Seite ein
Bei “Seite anlegen” steht das hier:
Permalink: http://www.partnersuche-mit-herz.de/ueberueber/

Kann mir jemand verraten, was ich als Pfad eintragen muß?

When I first installed this plugin I saw a huge increase in the indexing of my site. Thanks!

works fine on 2.6.5, the current release 2.7 RC2 seems to have problems with this implemented

awesome, plugin. Only thing I’m coding in myself, that would have sweet to have, is the link included in this sitemap. by cat, sortable and such. seeing as wordpress, now is in three big steps. Links, Posts, Pages.

Two questions:
(1) I added the slug to my Dagon settings, but I don’t understand what you mean about updating my Permalink structure. I have my structure set to Day and Name. Am I supposed to use something else? I’m happy with the one I chose.

(2) I have some non-breaking spaces in my post titles, and the HTML tags are showing on the site map. For that reason I’m reluctant to display it on my site.

Thanks for any help,
Eddie

This is my favorite plugin. It creates a sitemap for your Word Press blog automatically and it’s saving your valuable time. Great.

trying to implement it on my wordpress 2.7 rc1, let us see the result, on wordpress 2.6 it is fine.

Great plugin, it helped get some of the pages on my site indexed that have been posted for months but for some reason the search engines never picked them up.

When I publish the sitemap it also outputs all of the versions? so how do we remove them or only show the actual posts/pages?

Thanks

hi, the plug in works, but it seems to block everything else but my post and pages, I’m using wordpress ecommerce and when I installed this plug in my customers couldnt go to ANY of the products links, is there a way to solve this my site is Phantasymanga.com please help me

Working just peachy on build 2.6.3 Thank mate looks fabulous!

I just installed this, and am very impressed!

Just installed and configured this - works great. Thanks!

nice plugin

There are still issues on multiple page using permalink/slug. All page links show the first page (1).

I tried removing the slug/permalink in the option and the error remains. I’ve also been constantly upgrading my permalink structure everytime but no luck.

Hi
I’ve been using qTranslate for multilangual support. There is a easy fix for your plugin to support qTranslate:

Line 1261:
$content = str_replace('<!-- ddsitemapgen -->', ddsg_create_sitemap(), $content);
change to
$content = str_replace('<!-- ddsitemapgen -->', __(ddsg_create_sitemap()), $content);

This also works fine if you don’t have qTranslate. It just uses wordpress’ internal language support.

well can we submit this sitemap to google?

Just installed this, was wondering is it possible to dis play a list of posts only, i.e. categories dont show up

i already use it at my site. Its working.

Thanks for great plugin.

Great plugin. However I have a question.

The sitemap generated looks like this:
News (links to a long page of all posts 1 to 3)
-News post 1(links posts 1 only)
-News Post 2(links posts 2 only)
-News Post 3(links posts 3 only)

The problem is that google is spidering the “News” page which contains all the posts as well as all the individual posts. Causing duplicates. Is there a way of turning of the “Nes” link. i.e. the category?

This plugin is great. Worked perfectly for me thanks!

Hi

This is a great plugin and worked perfectly for me on several websites for quite some time …

BUT …

There seems to be a vulnerability that has crept into it.

I’ve had two sites hacked via this plugin and massive redirection injections inserted through it. One site has been completely de-indexed by Google and blacklisted because of this.

Could you contact me direct so we can confer on this and try to identify and isolate the vulnerability please?

I’m having to perform 100% re-installs of WordPress and manual sweeps of the databases and all other non-WordPress files to ensure no malicious code remains.

Thanks
Gaz

it’s simply great…………..thanks

Thanks. But it doesn’t work properly.

Don’t use “sitemap” url/slug, if google sitemap plugin is installed.

(Thanks to 892 Sarah Scott 12-4-07 11:02PM and http://wordpress.org/support/topic/131007)

great work! thanks!!

I have to listen to my older fellow bloggers. They say this plugin is a must, so here I am.

Hi I have added this plugin to my site and it has sent the site haywire. I can’t even log into the site anymore. See site below

http://www.no-gray-hair.com

Please can someone advise me on how to correct this.

Thanks

Thanks.. broo.. your plugin useful..

Hi. It looks like translation files do not contain all strings to be translated. Just started to do Finnish localization and some strings in the output are still in English…
- On top of output: “Page 2 of 4 : Previous Page : Next Page
- On following pages: “(continued)”

Could this be corrected somehow?

After downloading the last upgrade to your sitemap plugin, contributors on my blog were getting the error: “you do not have permission to upload files” when trying to access the wordpress image loader. I deactivated the plugin and all was fine. I hope this can be fixed in a new version soon because right now I don’t have a sitemap on my site.

Also, if I leave your plugin activated and comment out the line: wp_die(__(’You do not have permission to upload files.’));

(in wp-admin/media-upload.php) my contributors could get to the uploader but the flash version did not work.

I hope that makes sense and there is a fix coming. Thanks.

I’m using WP 2.6.1 and receiving this error message after activating your plugin:

Warning: include(/home/amergib0/public_html/newsblogging/wp-content/plugins/sitemap-generator/lang/English.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/amergib0/public_html/newsblogging/wp-content/plugins/sitemap-generator/sitemap-generator.php on line 48

Any suggestions?

Of course, my web site is at http://www.sitre.fr/

i have installed DDsitemap 3.14 and wp version 2.6.2 with permalink enabled. pls help me what to put in Page slug in option page at DDsitemap.

Just read that other post about leaving site map slug blank. That allows me to now see the other pages, but the permalinks are not wokring that way.

Page two shows this when I hover over the link:
http://www.vacation-rental-wonderland.com/owner-advice/index.php?page_id=3&pg=2

but after I click on the link this link is showing in my browser:
http://www.vacation-rental-wonderland.com/owner-advice/vacation-rental-sitemap/?pg=2

Would love to get this fixed!

great plugin added to my site working very well

thx for the great article

Hello, The problem you said at 1126 can be seen at http://www.techeduindia.com/sitemap/2

I have created the a page http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/

I downloaded the wordpress and ddsitegen both today.

I have created a page (sith slug sitemap) and have also entered that slug in the options.

Wondered if there had been an answer to 1096 - displaying posts relevant to the page you are on… as opposed to a single global setting?
Many thanks Mark

I went to my site map today for some reason and found that it is blank. Can you point me in the direction to finding out why?

5 or 6 of the last 20 comments claim that navigation of multiple sitemaps does not work! Why is that?

I would like to try a working version of this plugin if possible.

Hi ! I would like to add extra pages to the sitemap. Also, I would like my post categories to appear (but not the posts). How can I do that with this plugin ?
For the extra pages, I’m not the first one to ask the question, but no answer have been provided so far (that I know of). I’ve tried adding them in the sql database, the problem is that the link is retrieved via the page parent (if there is any), so no way to have a page external to wordpress listed as the child of another page, even if I provide the link.
Any help would be great !

Very nice piece of work. Congrats to the Dagon Design team for sharing this.

It worked right out of the box for me, though I did have to enter the URL for the .xml sitemap (rather than the path). You can see my sitemap at http://backlinksbreakthrough.com/sitemap

Thanks,
Gary

will you develop a support for qTranslate plugin inside your sitemap publisher?

so, is it compatible with wp 2.6 ?
please email me if you have time
thanx..

gr8 plugin. I used it in my website . But I m getting one problem with 404 similar content plugin. its not showing me any thing there just saying fuzzy…..

Hi
I’m trying to use this plugin on a new site i’m creating and i’m having a similar problem to ‘tim’ comment #130 in that I can’t exclude categories. I’ve gone through every step he did including adding the extra code on line 993 and still can’t get it to exclude any categories at all!

Any help would be appreciated

Hi I’ve tried to use this plugin in an absolut virgin WP 2.6.1 installation no plugin ever avctivated and it doesn’t work. It shows only the posts and categories from the first page.

I tried it with and without permalinks.

regards
Monika

Thank’s man for creating such a helpfull plugin :), i just installed it on my blog

The plugin has great support for multilingualization on the admin side, but what about content display? Tests with Gengo (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gengo/) and this plugin have the sitemap showing all language posts within one sitemap. Any chance this might be updated to support this?

Noticed that others are having same problem. I can only view page 1 of my sitemap, will not advance to other pages. Is plugin not compatible with WP 2.6? Please respond.

What should I do if after I upload the entire folder to the plugin directory, the plugin doesn’t show up under our plugins when logged in as admin?

I should also mention that we are currently using the google sitemap plugin. I tried deactivating it and this still didn’t show. I would rather not eliminate that one until I get this working and configured how we want it. We are using WordPress 2.3.2

Thanks in advance for any advice.

hi, may i know if there is anyway to arrange the order of the categories/posts of the sitemap?

Wow! Great work!!!

This is a great plugin. I didn’t encounter any issue, it was straight forward. Will link to your site.

whoa.. exciting plugin.. i am using thiss too in my blog..

Hi, was really excited about this plugin. Wanted to test on my personal blog before adding to business blogs.

Downloaded it, uploaded it, activated it, configured it, placed in the html editor on the page I created.

Viewed site - nothing. The page is blank.

Any ideas? I am running WP 2.3.3 on this blog. Any suggestions is appreciated.

Thank you kindly for this plug-in.
It works wonderfully.

The sitemap page only shows page 1, it does not show any page after that. It shows that there are 3 pages, but when I click on next page it shows the first page only.

Hi.

Can you update the options so we can include categories to “opt in” to the site map versus only “opt out”. The problem is that we use multiple categories for topics and we add new categories.

Under the current options, we have to “opt out” in your options page everytime we create a new category, which we don’t want to do. We want to specify only the “opt in” categories.

Thank you!

http://www.thecepblog.com/site-map

I have used the sitemap tools, and it is really very interesting.
Once again, thanks do much for your work.
Here you can see how beautiful is: http://www.tvcamer.com/sagong/sitemap
Best regards

I think there is a bug in function ddsg_remove_empty_cats, the last no posts categories will display in the output, like default categorie, so I made some fix.

/*
 * Remove categories with no posts
 */
function ddsg_remove_empty_cats($post_data) {

	$llp = -1;
	$last_type = 'c';
	$last_level = '0';

	$pdc = count($post_data);

	for ($i = $pdc - 1; $i >= 0; $i--) {

		$type = $post_data[$i]['type'];
		$title = $post_data[$i]['title'];
		$level = $post_data[$i]['level'];

		if (($type == 'c') && ($last_type == 'c') && ($last_level <= $level)) {
			$post_data[$i]['type'] = 'r';
		} else {
			$last_type = $type;
			$last_level = $level;
		}
		
		if ($post_data[$i]['type'] == 'p') {
			$llp = $post_data[$i]['level'];
		}

	}

	$new_post_data = array();
	foreach ($post_data as $pd) {
		if ($pd['type'] != 'r') {
			$new_post_data[] = $pd;
		}
	}

	return $new_post_data;

}

Very nice, simple and easy to use.
I installed,
set settings,
created a page called sitemap,
went to edit it,
and in the HTML tab, placed
saved

http://www.ericastjohn.com/sitemap/

and it works right out of the box.
Easy and simple! Thanks for this

I can not get this figured out.. I am not sure what is wrong.
I have the plug in down loaded. I have updated my permalinks page to say “sitemap” and updated the settings.

I have created a sitemap page, where my slug says, /sitema/.
What’s interesting is when I got to edit the plug in, I have to click on the Google XML option then this plugin shows up to be able to edit it.

I have spent will over 1.5 hours trying to figure this thing out. There NEEDS TO BE CLEAR STEP BY STEP instructions provided.
I know it’s probably something simple, but this is ridiculous.
Thanks,
Brian

thanks a lot…

This is working too good. For me. I have linked to you from my blog in wordpress plugins post because I love your plugin.

Regards,
iwebie (http://www.iwebie.com)

thanks, worked great.

and is there a way to remove the “Posts” title from the top of the content?

could somebody give me a sample of his/her css file because i don’t know how to costomize my plugin

thanks..

thank you.

True sitemap generator…
thanks…

I just installed the plugin, but alas, it produces only one page (and I have a LOT of posts). It just won’t go on to page two. I tried deactivating all the other plugins, but nothing. Help!

How can I submit it to Google?

I will give a try and do that at my blog. I already download it today.

Hi,
very usefull Plugin for WP. thx!

i use wp 2.3.1 and so far it work perfectly

thanks great..

I’ve created the sitemap using this plugin and everything seems to work fine, but I couldn’t submit it to Google Webmaster.

The location of my sitemap is: http://www.myblogname.com/index.php/sitemap

As my domain is registered in Google Webmaster, all I did when was adding a sitemap, included the following as a location of my sitemap:

index.php/sitemap

But now it says: Status: ERROR

great ,how to use ?

great nice plugin.

Wonderful! I even managed to get it to fit into my page template with a tag template on the page.

Now, if I can only remember what I did just now next time…

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the great plugin, it’s much appreciated.

Is there a place in the php file where I can add something like

post_status == ‘publish’

to get the site map to generate ONLY pages that are published?

Thank you very much for sharing this great plugin.

Firs of all, thanks so much for the plugin. It really great and very easy to use.

I have 3 feature requests (if I may be so bold):
1) option to rename or remove the bold-faced “Category:” that comes before each category

2) option to rename or remove the words “Posts” and “Pages” that come at the top of those lists, respectively.

3) option to show posts that appear in a sub-category even if the parent category is empty (for example imagine I have a main category as “Food” and sub-categories: “Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks.” Right now, if there are posts in each sub category but none in the parent category, none of the sub-category posts will appear).

Thanks again!

Hello there,
something went wrong by me - my RSS feed isn’t working and I can’t find any solution. I tried first to disable sitemap generator and it worked. But now, after several attemps to find what’s wrong it didn’t work even when sitemap generator is disabled

June 8, 2008 — I have installed this plugin on three different Wordpress sites, each running WP 3.5.1. As soon as it is activated, I get this error message:

Thank you for this plugin! I was able to modify the output to make a table of contents for my Writing section. Now it displays exactly how I wanted! I couldn’t have done it without your plugin.

Great plugin! I just installed it and am also looking for a way to customize the sitemap labels to specifically fit my blog..

Just downloaded and installed it. Works perfect. Thanks for all your good work!

Hi,
I use your plugin on website:
http://www.hoffman.wroc.pl/mapa-strony
and every post and pages is TRIPLED!
I don’t know why?
I’m just moving site from local host to web provider using mysql dump. Of course I Load Default Options but without success. I also try to delete plugin but without success. Could you help me?

@ingo: Thanks again for the reply.

I already did what you suggest:


Options Followsymlinks
RewriteEngine On

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
# END WordPress


Greetings,

@Edian
RewriteCond% {REQUEST_URI} ^/sitemap and after it RewriteBase /blog/ is an incongruity. ^/sitemap is a mistake if the blog is inside a folder. Try RewriteBase /blog/ before, or directly RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/sitemap. The .htaccess in root seems to be O.K.

Thanks for this great tool, I have been having issues with my site map and this works perfect.

Hi - Thanks for the great plugin. No problems with installing on WP 2.5.1. I'd like to customize both the style as well as change the instances of the title "Posts" and the word "Category" preceding each category to make sense in the context of the site. Can you please point me toward the line of code where I can change these instances? I could not find previous references on your site. Much thanks!

Wonderful plugin. However the navigation doesn’t seem to be working. Always stays on page one, regardless which navigation style is chosen

Sorry - the line I added was the ddsitemapgen line…

Hi,

I tried to use your site map plugin but I have display bug in the sitemap generation:

when the post contains ‘ like l’acteur et le système

it displays: &#8217 like l&#8217acteur et le système
@+Oliv

Hi,
I tried updating to version 3.14 but I got this error.
Now I can’t even go back to the old version.
What can I do to fix this?

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ddsg_add_option_pages() (previously declared in …/wp-content/plugins/sitemap-generator/sitemap-generator.php:55) in …/wp-content/plugins/sitemap-generator/sitemap-generator.php on line 54

Thanks.

Hello,

I have been using ddsitemap generator since several versions now, for french wp blogs. I met with the following error just after activate the plugin:

**********************************************
Warning: main(/mnt/157/sda/6/7/meets/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dd-sitemap-gen/lang/french.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/157/sda/6/7/meets/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dd-sitemap-gen/dd-sitemap-gen.php on line 48

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/mnt/157/sda/6/7/meets/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dd-sitemap-gen/lang/french.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’/mnt/157/sda/6/7/meets/include:.:/usr/php4/lib/php’) in /mnt/157/sda/6/7/meets/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dd-sitemap-gen/dd-sitemap-gen.php on line 48

**********************************************

I got the help of someone knowing php, who gave this solution to me, that I now apply version after version:

instead of letting :
*********************
/*
* Load language file
*/
$ddsg_lang_file = trim(get_option(ddsg_language));
if ($ddsg_lang_file == ”) {
$ddsg_lang_file = ‘English’;
}
include ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/dd-sitemap-gen/lang/’ . $ddsg_lang_file . ‘.php’;

****************************

I change the last line for:
include ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/dd-sitemap-gen/lang/French.php’;

****************************

I thought you may want to know, and look for a solution to improve next version.

I’m having the same problem that Yaakov, I try the solution from Ingo:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/sitemap
RewriteRule ^sitemap/([0-9]+)/$ /index.php?pg=$1 [L]

But doesn’t work, I have a few lines for .htaccess and I think that’s what it is messing with DDSitemapGen.

The navigation didn’t work by me too. It was always shown page 1.

Now, with

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/sitemap
RewriteRule ^sitemap/([0-9]+)/$ /index.php?pg=$1 [L]

in the .htaccess it works perfectly

sorry - the ddsitemapgen line

Under the installation instructions it says to activ ate the plugin from the adminstration panel. I’m not sure where to find that. I’m in my cpanel under file manager, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to activate plug-in’s. I’m truly sorry for my ignorance but if there’s any direction you could lend i’d appreciate it.

I just upgraded to the latest version and when I chose category IDs to exclude, they are still being included. Any advice? I’m using WP 2.5.1. In the meantime, I’m going to try downgrading plugin version.

Thanks.

Excellent, Version 3.14 fixed my problem.

Thanks!!

Pretty unclear instructions:
If you are upgrading, please delete the ‘dd-sitemapgen’ folder before uploading the new version.

I followed that instruction exactly, after seeing that a new version were available. Deleted the ‘dd-sitemapgen’, and then I pressed the upgrade-link in the admin-area.

Then the upgrade function got stuck, because it couldn’t find the folder and files it was supposed to upgrade. So now I have to re-install the plugin again.

I don’t know what you advice us to do - but it is obviously not what you have written.

Hello

I would like to test your plugin but the download link in this page goes to a page that points again to this page. A circle without solution.

Hey,

I just upgraded from 3.12 to 3.13 and now clicking on the next page simply displays results for page 1. So If I click on page 10 for example the url will change correctly to page 10 but page 1 results are still shown.

These use to work just fine in htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(sitemap)/([0-9]+)/$ /index.php?pagename=$1&pg=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(sitemap)/$ /index.php?pagename=$1&pg=1 [QSA,L]

RedirectMatch permanent /sitemap/index.php$ /sitemap/
RedirectMatch permanent /sitemap/([0-9]{1})/index.php$ /sitemap/$1/

Now they seem to have no effect, since if I remove them I see the same behavior.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Will

I`m using permanent links but cannot seem to get the plugin page links to work. It works well without the slug entered but gives a 404 whenever I enter the correct slug as `sitemap` or index.php/sitemap`. I have the WordPress files located in a subdirectory, and the blog exists in the site root. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the number of comments I’m posting.
I also have this ‘Headers already sent by…’-error when I try to log-in or log out, so there must be some kind of bug in this version.

When I activate or deactivate a plugin, I get an (PHP) error that the headers were already sent by … (this plugin). So I think that there’s a bug in this version or is it just me?

Great!!!

I’ve just published my sitemap
http://www.danireef.com/mappa-del-sito-site-map-2/

wonderful plugin!

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for the interesting and useful plug-and the result which is now in my article directory under http://www.artikelplanet.de/artikel-sitemap/.

Alex greetings …

WP 2.5.1 and Sitemap Generator plugin 3.13 I put in page http://www.igoralekseev.com/blog/sitemap/

HELP! Will only display pages. Will not display posts!

I had to disable WP Security Scan 2.2.60.1 because sitemap generator 3.13 was displaying only pages, no posts. No errors visible.

I’m also getting the same error whilst trying to activate…
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /mnt/w0203/d43/s01/b02d7cef/www/something.com/wp-content/plugins/dd-sitemap-gen/dd-sitemap-gen.php on line 818

OH, btw 3.12 was working is there any way I can download that somewhere?

works perfect on wp 2.5 , i am currently using on my site now

Oh, it cuts off. Here’s what i find there:

(without spaces)

Nice plugin. Works perfectly for me to provide a human readable sitemap for quick reference on my site.

This is a great plugin. I have got some great use out of it.
Thanks, Randy

Awesome plugin. Works like a charm for my site. Thanks buddy!

Hi,

Thanks for making this plugin available. However, I can’t get it to work in conjunction with the Google XML Sitemap plugin and WP 2.5. When I remove the “Sitemap.xml” and “sitemap.xml.tgz” files from my root directory, DD Sitemap works great. But as soon as I activate the Google XML sitemap plugin, DD Sitemap won’t work. Any ideas?

Hi, I’m using this with WP2.3.3 and works perfectly in my local server.
When I uploaded and installed it in my live server, it got installed but now when I go to plugins page, its totally blank. I’m not being able to see any contents of the plugins page so that I’m not being able to deactivate it as well. And the RTE is also not being able to load.
But other functions of the admin is working.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong coz I’m really stuck?? Thanks

I just started to build a new website right now, and while looking for a wp plugin I end up here … and, this plugin works perfectly. I’m using the 2.5 WP and looks cool indeed. Thank you. Greetings from Sahara Desert!

I’ve disabled the plugin on my site as I see this as a FATAL flaw of this plugin that has to be addressed. How to decide a problem?

Hi, I have tried to use your plugin in my blog but it gives me the php blank page of death. The problem seems to be related to the large number of categories of my site (6200!!)… is there anything I can do to make it work? (if you answer this, please forward a copy of your answer to my mail. thanks!).

Hi there! Awesome plugin! How could I sort my categories DESC instead of ASC ? Thanks!

Let I test it ..
Hope it work with WP 2.3

Update on comment below:

Even better:
For posts replace
$the_title = trim($post_data[$p]['title']);
on line 568 with
$the_title = htmlspecialchars(trim($post_data[$p]['title']));

For pages replace
$the_title = trim($page_data[$p]['title']);
on line 464 with
$the_title = htmlspecialchars(trim($page_data[$p]['title']));

good plugin, but i prefer to use generic sitemap creators like the sitemap creator from http://gadelkareem.com/2007/12/10/sitemap-creator-02a-create-sitemaps-09-valid-for-google-yahoo-and-msn-sitemaps/

this wordpress plugin is excellent,i have used it long time,thank you very much

Hi, I installed and I am using the sitemap generator plugin. I like it, but am curious if it is possible to tweak it to display all of my posts alphabetically by letter, (i.e. A, B, C) instead of category and list all the posts that start with that letter. I found another plugin called “Really Simple Sitemap” that supposedly does this, doesn’t work in my blog, so far no response either.

Thank you very much for sharing.I like this plugin and I use it

Wonderful Plug-in! Thank you.

Any guidance how I could set the Category Link, under Posts, as Bold… I need the extra differentiation.

Many thanks
Peter

I’m having problems with this I’m getting an error saying the sitemap can’t be found in the directory that wordpress is in

I can’t figure out why I can’t get the Sitemap Generator to work on this blog. I used it on another blog and it worked just fine.

For some reason, it simply isn’t making a list of all my links and displaying them in my sidebar.

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

I guess I should mention that I’ve only been working with Wordpress for a few weeks, so I’m a real newbie.

Thanks.

The permalinks are not working in WP 2.3 and 2.3.3.

I’ve tested with and without the permalink slug, still the page 2 or above links just go to page 1.

Any way to not show the categories in the sitemap, just the post names?

Same thing for me. Upgraded to WP 2.3.3 and sitemap disappeared.

The marker code <!-- ddsitemapgen --> is still showing up in the source code, so somehow the plugin is no longer picking it up?

See here: http://www.artofmoney.org/sitemap/

I have same issue as Joni. Just updated to WP 2.33 and posts don’t show, but pages do. I have a page slug.

Good job…!

Hi,
I have the same problem as comment 917 (Admin) with the spanish characters… Any solutions?
Cheers to a great plugin. Thanks!

Just downloaded and installed the plugin. It has some nice features, and is easy’ish to configure. However I have found one or two bugs in it.

A page title that includes double quotation marks( ” ) is causing problems. they aren’t encoded in the title attribute of the link.

A page title that includes an ampersand ( & ) is also causing a similar problem as it isn’t being encoded either.

I was able to fix the first bug, but I’m not too sure as to the best way to fix the second one.

Dear Sirs:

We just installed your Sitemap Generator Plugin for Wordpress 3.12, using WP 2.3.2, we have a problem while spanish charaters, (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) are not showing correctly. Ex. Categoría is showing CategorC-a, how we fix this?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,

I see that this only covers up to v2.3. I have v2.31 and i get a error when updating options.

“PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ddsg_add_option_pages() (previously declared in E:\site\exmaple.com\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\dd-sitemap-gen\dd-sitemap-gen.php:55) in E:\site\example.com\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\dd-sitemap-gen\dd-sitemap-gen.php on line 58

I assume this is why it doesn’t work? Are you planning on releasing a 2.31 or 2.32 update at any point?

Kindest Regards
Graham

It works perfectly on my site. I was searching for similar plug-in for many days now, and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Great plug-in!

Thanks you very much.

P.S. Is there any easier way to change the color/font/etc of the ‘Category’ and/or ‘SubCategory’?

Thank you! One of the issues with WordPress is that there a couple of different URLs showing the same pages. I’ve used a robots.txt file to keep search engines from indexing the same pages via archives and categories links. This plugin conveniently provides direct links to these pages without having to navigate through category and archive paths. All that to say, this is a perfect tool for SEO. Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin. I am having a small problem with using the & sign for my page names. Your plug in is rendering them as & and not & which generates errors. Is there a way I could get it to do this?

Is there a way to remove the word “Posts” at the top of the sitemap generated?

Very cool plugin!

This plugin doesn’t support tags does it? After converting categories to tags posts are no longer generated on the sitemap page, only pages are.

Nice plugin. Simple and easy to set up. And it’s work directly after installed

The earlier missing PREFIX bug can be fixed by modifying:

$posts = (array)$wpdb->get_results(”
SELECT ID, {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_id as category_id, post_title $extra_data
FROM {$tp}posts, {$tp}term_relationships, {$tp}term_taxonomy
WHERE {$tp}posts.ID = {$tp}term_relationships.object_id
AND {$tp}term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id
AND wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘category’
AND post_status = ‘publish’
AND post_type = ‘post’
$dup_check
$pass_check
$future_check
ORDER BY category_id, $sort_string
“);

TO

$posts = (array)$wpdb->get_results(”
SELECT ID, {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_id as category_id, post_title $extra_data
FROM {$tp}posts, {$tp}term_relationships, {$tp}term_taxonomy
WHERE {$tp}posts.ID = {$tp}term_relationships.object_id
AND {$tp}term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id
AND {$tp}term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘category’
AND post_status = ‘publish’
AND post_type = ‘post’
$dup_check
$pass_check
