One file, one settings screen: the sitemap is generated from your existing content on request, and Google and Bing are told about it when you publish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

AIFORYA Sitemap<\/strong> publishes an XML sitemap of your site at \/aiforya-sitemap.xml<\/code>. Search engines (Google, Bing and others) use it to discover your pages faster and to see which ones changed recently. An up-to-date sitemap is a cornerstone of organic search.<\/p>\n\n

The sitemap is generated on your own server and is never sent anywhere. No API key and no account are required.<\/p>\n\n

One optional feature does contact the outside: if you enable \"Notify search engines on publish\", the plugin pings Google and Bing with the address of your sitemap. It is off by default<\/strong>, and it is the only outside request the plugin makes (see External services).<\/p>\n\n

Features<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Complete XML sitemap<\/strong> \u2014 home page, published posts and pages, at \/aiforya-sitemap.xml<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  • Post type selection<\/strong> \u2014 choose which public post types to include (posts, pages, custom types).<\/li>\n
  • Categories and tags<\/strong> \u2014 optionally include category and tag archives.<\/li>\n
  • Last modified dates<\/strong> \u2014 every URL carries its last modification date (lastmod<\/code>) in the standard format.<\/li>\n
  • Adjustable URL limit<\/strong> \u2014 control how many URLs are listed (1 to 2000).<\/li>\n
  • Optional publish notification<\/strong> \u2014 automatically tell Google and Bing about your sitemap when you publish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Privacy<\/h4>\n\n

    The sitemap is generated directly on your server and is never transmitted to a third party. The publish notification is off by default; when you enable it, only the public address of your sitemap is sent to Google and Bing \u2014 no personal data.<\/p>\n\n

    Advanced version<\/h4>\n\n

    An advanced version (see aiforya.fr) adds multiple and paginated sitemaps, images and news, and custom priorities and frequencies. This free version is fully functional on its own, with no time limit.<\/p>\n\n

    External services<\/h3>\n\n

    This plugin contacts search engines only<\/strong> if you enable the optional \"Notify search engines on publish\" setting, which is disabled by default<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Google<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.google.com<\/code>) and Bing<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.bing.com<\/code>) \u2014 when the option is enabled, each time you publish content the plugin sends them the public address of your sitemap (\/aiforya-sitemap.xml<\/code>) to signal the update. Only that URL is sent; no personal data is transmitted.\n\n
        \n
      • Google terms: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms \u2014 privacy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/li>\n
      • Bing (Microsoft) terms: https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/servicesagreement \u2014 privacy: https:\/\/privacy.microsoft.com\/privacystatement<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        With the option disabled, sitemap generation, the sitemap index and content exclusion all work with no network call at all.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
        2. Open the AIFORYA Sitemap<\/strong> menu.<\/li>\n
        3. In the Settings<\/strong> tab, choose the post types to include.<\/li>\n
        4. In the Overview<\/strong> tab, copy the sitemap address and submit it in Google Search Console.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          Where is my sitemap?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          At your site address followed by \"\/aiforya-sitemap.xml\". The Overview tab shows the exact, clickable link.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          What content is included?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          The home page, plus published posts and pages of the post types you select. You can also include category and tag archives.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Should I submit the sitemap to Google?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          For best results, add the sitemap address in Google Search Console and the Bing equivalent. You can also enable the automatic publish notification.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Do I need an API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. This free version is entirely self-contained and generates the sitemap directly on your server.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does the plugin contact anyone?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Only if you enable \"Notify search engines on publish\". It is off by default. When enabled, it sends only your sitemap URL to Google and Bing \u2014 nothing else.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Where do I get support?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Through the support forum of this plugin on WordPress.org.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

          1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Shared admin UI: the close button of the notice bar had a French aria-label<\/code>, which screen readers announced in French on an English site. It is now in English.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • The built-in help and FAQ can now be translated. In 1.0.0 those answers were hard-coded English text that no translation could reach.<\/li>\n
            • Links in the plugin header now point to the English pages of our site instead of the French ones.<\/li>\n
            • Internal cleanup of the settings screen and of the AJAX handler. No change to how the sitemap itself is generated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Initial release: XML sitemap at \/aiforya-sitemap.xml<\/code>, post type selection, categories and tags, URL limit and publish notification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Generate an XML sitemap so search engines can crawl and index your pages, posts and categories.
