Excellent Plugin

By Anthony Butler (AButlwer) on September 29, 2024

An excellent plugin - lean and efficient, and easy to configure. The .htaccess file editor is most convenient.

"Additional Pages" tab disappeared

By torstiva on April 25, 2024

Additional pages went empty after the latest update so that's pretty bad.

Worked with polylang

By greenlis on December 2, 2023

Lol, only this plugin work for me correctly with polylang to create single Multilanguage multisite sitemap without any dances.

Nice

By dylanwettstein on September 3, 2023

It works‏‏‎ ‎:)

Only downside: Settings menu is a bit confusing and the sitemap doesn‘t automatically update when changes are made.

Excellent!

By Supje on May 21, 2023

Overzichtelijk, netjes, klaar in een paar minuten!

Terrible plugin

By readysite on April 7, 2023

Terrible plugin. Multilanguage does not work, everything lags. Tags and categories are not displayed.

Does Not Address XSS Vulnerabilities

By Ken Sim (kwsim539) on March 20, 2023

It has been 1 month since this XSS vulnerability has been reported by WPScann and this plugin has yet to address this issue. I can't have a plugin with this type of security issue on my client's site. Not when there are other options available.

Quickly generated nice sitemap

By chudytom on January 30, 2023

Quickly generated nice sitemap. Everything as expected
