Best XML Generator for Wordpress?

[markadoi84]

Hi all,

Quick question - does anybody have any recommendations for the best XML sitemap plugin for Wordpress?

An idea of why you like it would also be helpful.

Thank you very much!

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/ is the one I use on over 20 WP sites, it is easy to set up, one click and your done. With over 7.5 million downloads I think it's pretty popular

Spot on - Google XML sitemap is the one I was about to recommend before I saw Keith beat me to it : )

There's a few others but the above is certainly the easiest to use. I'd also recommend the Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin if you're looking at optimising your WP site.

Thanks Keith and John, much appreciated!

With regards to the SEO plugin, would you recommend Yoast above All in One SEO?  I've tended to use that in the past and it's pretty good, however if you have some reasons for why Yoast is better then I'll definitely give that a try next time.

Thanks again,

Mark

I would recommend Yoast over ANY SEO plugin to be honest....

Hi Keith,

OK great thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a try.

Sorry to bother you again but have another quick question as I'm struggling to exclude child URLs from the sitemap.  Have posted another question here, if you are interested in answering yet another question!

Thanks,

Mark
