説明

本プラグインは、XML サイトマップと Google ニュース・サイトマップの規定に従った動的フィードを動的に生成します。
マルチサイトや、Polylang と WPML にも互換性があり、静的なファイルは作成されません。

投稿種別とアーカイブページ (用語分類や筆者のページような) を含め、どのサイトマップを有効にするかを管理する設定があります。ほかにも、優先度と最終更新日をどう計算するか、どこに Ping するか、WordPress 管理画面内から robots.txt のルールの追加を設定できるようになりました。

他の XML サイトマップ用プラグインと比べて、本プラグインの便利な特徴は単純さです。ファイルやフォルダのアクセス権を変更したり、ファイルを移動したり、プラグイン設定のための難しい調整に時間をかける必要はありません。

あなたやマルチサイトの管理者は、他の多くの XML サイトマップ用プラグインのように複雑な設定に悩まされないでしょう。大半の環境では標準設定で十分です。

XMLサイトマップのインデックスは、yourblog.url/sitemap.xml (美しい URL のパーマリンク構造を使用していなければ yourblog.url/?feed=sitemap) からすぐ利用可能になり、標準設定で投稿やページを参照しており、Google、Bing、Yahoo、AOL、Ask のような検索エンジンによるインデックス作成への用意が整います。Google ニュースのサイトマップを有効にすると、yourblog.url/sitemap-news.xml (またはyourblog.url/?feed=sitemap-news) を利用可能にし、Google ニュースによるインデックスに備えられます。この両方は、動的に作成された yourblog.url/robots.txt の robots.txtから自動的に参照され、検索エンジンにそのサイトの XML サイトマップがどこにあるかを示します。Google と Bing は、それぞれの新たな公開記事に Ping します。

Google ニュースに掲載された記事を取得する方法については、FAQ をご覧ください。

CloudFlare、WP Super Cache、W3 Total Cache、Quick Cache などの、フィードをキャッシュするキャッシュ用プラグインと互換性があり、お腹をすかせたスパイダー (リンク網を作るプログラム) にも、パパッとごちそうを与えます。

注:

美しい URL を使っていない (URL がスラッシュ区切りではない) か、WordPress サブディレクトリにインストールされている場合には、動的な robots.txt は生成されません。自分で作成し、サイトのルートディレクトリにアップロードする必要があります ! FAQ 参照のこと。
巨大なサイトでは、WP Super Cache, Quick Cache, W3 Total Cache などの優れたキャッシュ用プラグインを使うことおすすめします。これにより、サイトとサイトマップの反応速度が改善されます。

機能

Polylang や WPML を使用中の多言語サイトに互換性があり、すべての言語を等しくインデックス化できます。
Option to add new robots.txt rules. These can be used to further control (read: limit) the indexation of various parts of your site and subsequent spread of pagerank across your sites pages.
人がサイトマップを読めるように XLS スタイルシートを同梱。
サイトマップのテンプレートとスタイルシートは、テーマのテンプレートファイルによって上書き可能です。

個人情報 / GDPR

本プラグインは、利用者または訪問者のデータやブラウザーのクッキーの設定を収集しません。このプラグインの使用による、サイトの個人情報保護方針への影響はありません。

公開されるデータ

XML サイトマップインデックスは、他のサイトマップを参照するものです。他のサイトマップには、あなたのサイトの選択された公開済み投稿タイプの公開投稿の URL、最終更新日時、関連画像の URL、および選択された公開アーカイブの URL が含まれています。

Google ニュースのサイトマップには、あなたのサイトの、選択した種類のニュース投稿の公開された最近 (48時間以内) の URL が、公開日時と関連画像の URL と共に含まれています。
著者のサイトマップや、著者のアーカイブページへのリンクを含めることもできます。これらの URL には著者/ユーザー用のスラッグが含まれており、著者のアーカイブには著者の経歴を含めることができます。これらをパブリックドメインにしないようにするに、著者のサイトマップを無効にし、SEO プラグインで noindex をヘッダーに追加してください。

送信されるデータ

検索エンジンに活発に送信されるデータは、あなたのサイトマップの場所と公開日時です。これは「設定 > 投稿」の Ping の設定が1つでも有効になっていれば、各投稿の公開時に発生します。この時、選択した検索エンジンに対しサイトマップの場所と更新状態が通知されます。

インストール

WordPress

I. 以前から別の XML サイトマップ用プラグインを使っていれば、サイトのルートディレクトリに作成された sitemap.xml や sitemap-news.xml とまた (手動で管理していなければ) robots.txt があれば削除します。

II. 以下を使いプラグインをインストールします:

Covered Web Services でかんたんインストール !

… または …

管理画面のプラグイン > 新規追加から xml sitemap feed を検索しインストールします。

… または …

以下の手順に従います:

圧縮ファイルをダウンロードします。
「プラグイン > 新規追加 > プラグインのアップロード」からzip ファイルをアップロード…あるいは…展開し、お好きな FTP クライアントで /plugins/ フォルダーにアップロードします。

III. 本プラグインをプラグインページ上で有効化します。

完了です ! ブラウザや、なんらかのオンライン XML 検証ツールから yourblogurl.tld/sitemap.xml (もちろんドメイン名はあなたのサイトにし) にアクセスし、新しい XML サイトマップが作成されているのをご確認ください。また、サイトマップが yourblogurl.tld/robots.txt ファイルに記載されていることも確認できます。

マルチサイトで WordPress バージョン3以上

上記と同じですが、ネットワーク上の各サイトで XML サイトマップが利用できるようにするために、ネットワークで有効化を実行します。

Installed alongside WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages, XML Sitemap Feed will not create a sitemap.xml nor change robots.txt for any tag blogs. This is done deliberately because they would be full of links outside the tags blogs own domain and subsequently ignored (or worse: penalised) by Google.

アンインストール

本プラグインのアンインストールは、管理画面 > プラグインのページから行います。プラグインの設定とメタデータはデータベースから削除されます。uninstall.php ファイル内の注意事項をご覧ください。

マルチサイトでは、uninstall.php は、各サイトのアンインストール処理を行うために、ネットワーク内のすべてのサイトを巡回可能です。しかしこれは大規模なネットワークには対応しないので、wp-config.php 内で define(‘XMLSF_MULTISITE_UNINSTALL’, true); が明示的に設定されている場合にのみ、各サイトのアンインストールを行います。

FAQ

Where are the options?

On Settings > Reading you can enable the XML Sitemap Index and (if needed) the Google News Sitemap. There is also an Additional robots.txt rules field.

Once a sitemap is enabled, its options can be found on Settings > XML Sitemap or on Settings > Google News.

Ping settings can be found on Settings > Writing.

How do I get my latest articles listed on Google News?

Go to Suggest News Content for Google News and submit your website info as detailed as possible there. Give them the URL(s) of your fresh new Google News Sitemap in the text field ‘Other’ at the bottom.

You will also want to add the sitemap to your Google Search Console account to check its validity and performance. Create an account if you don’t have one yet.

Can I manipulate values for Priority and Changefreq?

You can find default settings for Priority on Settings > XML Sitemap. A fixed priority can be set on a post by post basis too.

Changefreq has been dropped since version 4.9 because it is no longer taken into account by Google.

Do I need to submit the sitemap to search engines?

No. In normal circumstances, your site will be indexed by the major search engines before you know it. The search engines will be looking for a robots.txt file and (with this plugin activated) find a pointer in it to the XML Sitemap on your blog. The search engines will return on a regular basis to see if your site has updates.

Besides that, Google and Bing are pinged upon each new publication by default.

NOTE: If you have a server without rewrite rules, use your blog without fancy URLs (meaning, you have WordPress Permalinks set to the old default value) or have it installed in a subdirectory, then read Do I need to change my robots.txt for more instructions.

Does this plugin ping search engines?

Yes, Google and Bing are pinged upon each new publication. Unless you disable this feature on Settings > Writing.

Do I need to change my robots.txt?

In normal circumstances, if you have no static robots.txt file in your site root, the new sitemap url will be automatically added to the dynamic robots.txt that is generated by WordPress.

If you use a static robots.txt file in your website root, you will need to open it in a text editor. If there is already a line with Sitemap: http://yourblogurl.tld/sitemap.xml you can just leave it like it is. But if there is no sitemap referrence there, add it (adapted to your site url) to make search engines find your XML Sitemap.

Or if you have WP installed in a subdirectory, on a server without rewrite_rules or if you do not use fancy URLs in your Permalink structure settings. In these cases, WordPress will need a little help in getting ready for XML Sitemap indexing. Read on in the WordPress section for more.

My WordPress powered blog is installed in a subdirectory. Does that change anything?

That depends on where the index.php and .htaccess of your installation reside. If they are in the root while the rest of the WP files are installed in a subdir, so the site is accessible from your domain root, you do not have to do anything. It should work out of the box.

But if the index.php is together with your wp-config.php and all other WP files in a subdir, meaning your blog is only accessible via that subdir, you need to manage your own robots.txt file in your domain root. It has to be in the root (!) and needs a line starting with Sitemap: followed by the full URL to the sitemap feed provided by XML Sitemap Feed plugin. Like:

Sitemap: http://yourblogurl.tld/subdir/sitemap.xml

If you already have a robots.txt file with another Sitemap reference like it, just add the full line below or above it.

Do I need to use a fancy Permalink structure?

No. While I would advise you to use any one of the nicer Permalink structures for better indexing, you might not be able to (or don’t want to) do that. If so, you can still use this plugin:

Check to see if the URL yourblog.url/?feed=sitemap does produce a feed. Now manually upload your own robots.txt file to your website root containing:

Sitemap: http://yourblog.url/?feed=sitemap

User-agent: *
Allow: /

You can also choose to notify major search engines of your new XML sitemap manually. Start with getting a Google Search Console account and submit your sitemap for the first time from there to enable tracking of sitemap downloads by Google! or head over to XML-Sitemaps.com and enter your sites sitemap URL.

Can I change the sitemap name/URL?

No. If you have fancy URL’s turned ON in WordPress (Permalinks), the sitemap url is yourblogurl.tld/sitemap.xml but if you have the Permalink Default option set the feed is only available via yourblog.url/?feed=sitemap.

I see no sitemap.xml file in my site root!

There is no actual file created. The sitemap is dynamically generated just like a feed.

I see a sitemap.xml file in site root but it does not seem to get updated!

You are most likely looking at a sitemap.xml file that has been created by another XML Sitemap plugin before you started using this one. Remove that file and let the plugin dynamically generate it just like a feed. There will not be any actual files created.

If that’s not the case, you are probably using a caching plugin or your browser does not update to the latest feed output. Please verify.

I use a caching plugin but the sitemap is not cached

Some caching plugins have the option to switch on/off caching of feeds. Make sure it is turned on.

Frederick Townes, developer of W3 Total Cache, says: “There’s a checkbox option on the page cache settings tab to cache feeds. They will expire according to the expires field value on the browser cache setting for HTML.”

The Google News sitemap is designed to NOT be cached.

I get an ERROR when opening the sitemap or robots.txt!

The absolute first thing you need to check is your blogs privacy settings. Go to Settings > Privacy and make sure you are allowing search engines to index your site. If they are blocked, your sitemap will not be available.

Then, you might want to make sure that there is at least ONE post published. WordPress is known to send 404 status headers with feed requests when there are NO posts. Even though the plugin tries to prevent that, in some cases the wrong status header will get sent anyway and Google Search Console will report a vague message like:

We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap.
Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be
accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

If that did not solve the issue, check the following errors that might be encountered along with their respective solutions:

404 page instead of my sitemap.xml

Try to refresh the Permalink structure in WordPress. Go to Settings > Permalinks and re-save them. Then reload the XML Sitemap in your browser with a clean browser cache. ( Try Ctrl+R to bypass the browser cache — this works on most but not all browsers. )

404 page instead of both sitemap.xml and robots.txt

There are plugins like Event Calendar (at least v.3.2.beta2) known to mess with rewrite rules, causing problems with WordPress internal feeds and robots.txt generation and thus conflict with the XML Sitemap Feed plugin. Deactivate all plugins and see if you get a basic robots.txt file showing:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Reactivate your plugins one by one to find out which one is causing the problem. Then report the bug to the plugin developer.

404 page instead of robots.txt while sitemap.xml works fine

There is a known issue with WordPress (at least up to 2.8) not generating a robots.txt when there are no posts with published status. If you use WordPress as a CMS with only pages, this will affect you.

To get around this, you might either at least write one post and give it Private status or alternatively create your own robots.txt file containing:

Sitemap: http://yourblog.url/sitemap.xml

User-agent: *
Allow: /

and upload it to your web root…

Error loading stylesheet: An unknown error has occurred

On some setups (usually using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin) this error occurs. The problem is known, the cause is not… Until I find out why this is happening, please take comfort in knowing that this only affects reading the sitemap in normal browsers but will NOT affect any spidering/indexing on your site. The sitemap is still readable by all search engines!

XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document

This error occurs when blank lines or other output is generated before the start of the actual sitemap content. This can be caused by blank lines at the beginning of wp-config.php or your themes functions.php or by another plugin that generates output where it shouldn’t. You’ll need to test by disabling all other plugins, switching to the default theme and manually inspecting your wp-config.php file.

I see only a BLANK (white) page when opening the sitemap

There are several cases where this might happen.

Open your sitemap in a browser and look at the source code. This can usually be seen by hitting Ctrl+U or right-click then select ‘View source…’ Then scan the produced source (if any) for errors.

A. If you see strange output in the first few lines (head tags) of the source, then there is a conflict or bug occuring on your installation. Please go to the Support forum for help.

B. If the source is empty or incomplete then you’re probably experiencing an issue with your servers PHP memory limit. In those cases, you should see a messages like PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxxxx bytes exhausted. in your server/account error log file.

This can happen on large sites. To avoid these issues, there is an option to split posts over different sitemaps on Settings > XML Sitemap. Try different settings, each time revisiting the main sitemap index file and open different sitemaps listed there to check.

Read more on Increasing memory allocated to PHP (try a value higher than 256M) or ask your hosting provider what you can do.

Can I run this on a WPMU / WP3+ Multi-Site setup?

Yes. In fact, it has been designed for it. Tested on WPMU 2.9.2 and WPMS 3+ both with normal activation and with Network Activate / Site Wide Activate.
