I’d liked you plugin and i made the localization for Italian adding translation for the yearly/montly/daily frequency text, I’d also made a readme_it-IT.txt file. Where can i send the languages files and other stuff? Email me at: steagl (at) wordpress-it (dot) it thanks

Hi Arne,

Thanks for the great plugin! It’s running on my own weblog and works just great. There was just one issue. On my site, the blog is in a subdirectory (http://blog.niftypaint.nl/blog). The sitemap.xml is also placed in this /blog subdirectory. The first entry in the XML file (homepage) is http://blog.niftypaint.nl/blog. That entry is refused by Google with an error “URL not under sitemap domain”. I’ve changed the code of the plugin to append a trailing slash to the URL (making it http://blog.niftypaint.nl/blog/). That makes Google accept the URL.

Perhaps somethin to tweak in a future version?

Damn, I was about to send you the spanish translation of the sitemap generator.
But now I see that you´ve contacted someone in the middle that did this.
Ok. No hurt feelings :’(

Hello Arne,

I’ve just discovered a small problem with the plugin. When I add ‘additional pages’ manually and enter a ‘last changed’ date for 2005-06-22 it changes the date to 2006-06-10 after save.

Sorry to bother you.

Great work!!!

I’ll try it.

Google is doing a lot of new things to make its index more relevent and powerful.

I have the same problem as Wilfred! So i added the trailing slash to the url too and it worked. But it doesn’t work with external pages which aren’t generated by WordPress or are not recognized by this plugin if they are not in a directory under the directory of the xml-file.
It would be fine to be able to setup the location of the xml-file so I can put it in the root-directory of my webspace!
Nevertheless, a great work, Arne

Some people emailed me about the hack for the trailing slash (see http://www.arnebrachhold.de/2005/06/15/google-sitemap-generator-for-wordpress-25#comment-188 )

The trick is:

See line 980 of sitemap.php

old code:

//Add the home page
if(sm_go(”sm_in_home”)) {
$s.=sm_addUrl(get_bloginfo(’url’),mysql2date(’Y-m-d\TH:i:s+00:00′, get_lastpostmodified(’GMT’), false),sm_go(”sm_cf_home”),sm_go(”sm_pr_home”));
}

new code:

//Add the home page
if(sm_go(”sm_in_home”)) {
$s.=sm_addUrl(get_bloginfo(’url’).”/”,mysql2date(’Y-m-d\TH:i:s+00:00′, get_lastpostmodified(’GMT’), false),sm_go(”sm_cf_home”),sm_go(”sm_pr_home”));
}

Notice the extra .”/” to concatenate the slash to the get_blocginfo(’url’).
