Create FULL sitemap (special programming)

If the standard sitemaps don't already allow for that have a look at the source code and add it. Probably easier to work with an existing sitemap that already handles all the normal pages too.

 

I can't tell what script generates your sitemap by looking at the output.

You need to look at the script that you use - and it's alternatives - and decide which is easiest to modify.

 

Yep, you said that in your first post. I suspect, though, that each "page" is actually a "post".

Which sitemap plugins have you tried already? What issues did you have with them? If they're coded properly they should get the id of the post and then call a wordpress function that gives the formatted permalink automatically. What you need should be easy as for any of the sitemap plugins.

 

Yes - install a sitemap plugin, run it, look at the results - are your pages shown with the right permalink?
If it's no good try a different wordpress sitemap plugin
If you've tried them all and still can't find one that does what you need let us know where they fall short.

I use a sitemap plugin on all my sites and they create the right permalinks and google imports the sitemaps with no problems.

 

Load up this one and then post a link to the sitemap and we can take a look at it.

It's unclear if the evidence of the sitemap's failure is because your site isn't indexed or because the sitemap doesn't include the right permalinks and pages.

 

Atleast some of your pages are indexed

So give us a link to the sitemap that gets generated and let us see what the problem is. It's great that you answer quickly but it would be better if you gave the information that is requested.

 

Ok, so category archives have a .html extension
posts just have a number

It's a really confusing site to use, but that's a whole other discussion.

When was that sitemap generated? I clicked on 3 of the links and 2 were broken which suggests it might need refreshing.

 

Review the settings and check that it is set up right.

Am I right that you have the top level categories shown in the menu and then the sub categories are the .html links and then posts just have their id number?

Or are your images a custom post type? Does the plugin allow for custom post types?

 

Personally I'd be ticking all of these

and yesterday when I looked you had categories and tags in the file... but that could be because of this



you need to delete those static files and I'll check again

 

have you deleted the static files?
