Sitemap Pro: Manage WordPress XML Sitemaps
Sitemap Pro generates WordPress XML sitemaps and a website map page. Choose from pages, posts, categories, tags, custom post types, custom taxonomies, and custom URLs. Sitemap files give crawlers a structured list of site URLs, and the plugin can add the sitemap path to robots.txt automatically.

Manage URLs and sitemap files
Add external sitemap files and set how often their content changes. Add custom URLs outside the standard WordPress content types. Exclude selected pages or post types, filter taxonomy content by word, and change the sitemap filename.
Configure sitemap output
- Set a maximum number of URLs per sitemap file and split the sitemap into multiple files.
- Generate media sitemaps and include canonical URLs for pages and posts.
- Disable automatic canonical tags if needed.
- Choose whether to include noindex pages on the main site.
- Add alternate-language pages when using the Multilanguage add-on.
- Configure all subsites on a multisite network.
- Edit title and meta description fields.
You can also add a sitemap to Google News and connect with Google Webmaster Tools to add a site, add or delete a sitemap, and retrieve website information.
