Sitemap generator

Keeping search engines aware of new content

The Sitemap Generator tool for RKHM automates the process of generating sitemaps for your content, dividing large sets of data into manageable files, and indexing them into a sitemap.xml file for submission to search engines.

Features

  • Automatically generates sitemaps for selected content.
  • Divides large sets of items into separate sitemaps to respect search engine limits.
  • Saves generated sitemaps in the ~root/sitemaps folder.
  • Creates and indexes all sitemaps in the ~root/sitemap.xml file.

Admin Usage Instructions

  1. Install the Sitemap Generator tool from the admin dashboard.
  2. Go to the tool’s settings page ( Admin -> Setting -> Sitemap generator -> Setting ).
  3. Select the content objects (posts, pages, products, etc.) you want to include in the sitemap.
  4. Wait for the cronjob to create the sitemap files.
  5. Submit the sitemap.xml file to search engines like Google or Bing.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

  1. Check if the cronjob is picking up the sitemap task. If the task hasn’t run, review your cronjob configuration. RKHM provides setup instructions during installation.Verify that the web server’s user has write permissions for the ~root folder. Without proper permissions, the tool cannot generate or save the sitemaps.
