Sitemap for Wordpress

You can easily make a sitemap or a list of your latest posts by following these simple steps.

Step 1

Download and install the PHP Exec plugin

Step 2

Create a new post with your desired name and add this code inside the page content:

<div style=”width:300px;margin-left:50px;font-size:10px”>
<br /><br />
<phpcode>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=100'); ?>
</phpcode>
<br /><br />
</div>

The number 100 in the code stands for number of pages to be displayed.
(Before the code starts you can write some text like “Marcus Sitemap” or something else nice.

Finished!

Now it should look something like this: Latest 50 posts

Now you can create a page and use the page-slug to link it to the post. That way you can have your list/sitemap easy to spot.

Thanks to Jim for this.

Inspiration in this post is taken from: Jim´s Sitemap tutorial

Create a user friendly sitemap

This is a post on how to create a user friendly sitemap for Wordpress blogs.

Do this and you have a autogenerating user friendly sitemap.

This is how it looks: Sitemap

This Includes 2 steps

STEP 1

Download and install the XML sitemap generator

Link to plugin site: google-sitemaps-generator-v2-final

Send in your sitemap to Google sitmaps.
If you do not already have a Google sitemap account sign up here

You should now have a fully working .xml Google sitemap.

STEP 2

Visit Enarion.net and download gss-1.5a.zip

Upload the file to your server.

Now as you can see at the style sheet page you are instructed to add:

< ?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="gss.xsl"?>
directly under
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

in your sitemap.xml file.

But the problem is that each time your sitemap.xml file gets regenerated it over writes your precious < ?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="gss.xsl"?> command.

How do we solve the problem then?

Just add this piece of code in your sitemap.php file which should be located at: /yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/sitemap.incl.lang/

$s=’< ?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="gss.xsl"?>‘. “\n”;

The code should be placed directly under:
$s=’< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"' . '?' . '>‘. “\n”;

(If you can not find that piece of code use the search function on your FTP client.)

That´s it! now your sitemap.xml is compatible both to Google sitemaps and for visitors to use.

See the result and how it looks for this domain: Westberg Sitemap
