There are mainly two types of sitemaps: HTML sitemap and XML sitemap, and they are designed for dealing with different issues about websites. Therefore, before you start to learn How To Create Sitemap Without Pluging you need first know which type of sitemap suits your needs.

There are two ways to build sitemaps for your site: automatically or manually. Finding a trustworthy Free Sitemap Generator  to automatically build sitemaps is the easiest: and you can directly create sitemap for your site. Read More: xml-sitemaps.com or find the usefull service at: oxwall.org/store/user-list/plugin/Purusothaman

Good find Citi24. Thanks for sharing this.

When I had a look on the sample sitemap, it has generated the rss feed for newsfeed also.

<url>
<loc>http://www.microblogasia.com/newsfeed/1000/</loc>;
<priority>0.4</priority>
<lastmod>2012-07-11T18:35:18+00:00</lastmod>
<changefreq>Always</changefreq>
</url>

Generally newsfeeds need not to be come as it will involves lot of activities even in a small site. Does this software allow to filter specific type of urls?

How does this software handles sitemap file when the number of urls crosses 5000 links. There is a limit on this.

Thanks again for sharing about this useful one.

Actually I do not know exactly how this free software to work but it works and really helps my site to be found by google in a few weeks...

There are several types of files that can be filtered by this software. Have a look at the example image.

In addition, a
fter generating this software also reports
the error pages on your site so you can make modifications to the metadata or delete some pages before it's published.

You can limit the number of urls to be genereted (see the left sample image)

NOTE ! be careful !
- It's just that you have to be careful when using it directly connected to your site using ftp  (I do not recommend this way because I do not believe this can work 100% or do not damage the site). (unless you've been doing backups or you really know about oxwall when problems occur). I hope your help to let us know if we can use this way. Thank U.
- After Sitemap Generation Completed I use to copy the generated file and upload to my site (I Use this way)


SORRY my en...

Thanks again for your detailed reply.

Filtering file is a good option. But having a oxwall specific site map will be good.

But this software is good. Wish I had this before.

after upgrading my site to Newest oxwall,
I can no longer use the free sitemap above.
if i upload, then the result of sitemap page is 404 (can`t see)
Purusothaman Ramanujam Can you help me or why this is happening?
Purusothaman Ramanujam
I am have no idea who this free sitemap is designed and generates the file.

As said already, it should handle sitemap file when the number of urls crosses 5000 links.

Before is normally, the page mysite.com/sitemap.xml (can open)
After upgrading oxwall to Oxwall 1.4.1 security realease

then : mysite.com/sitemap.xml is 404
Purusothaman Ramanujam
Check whether the sitemap.xml file is present in your server root directory. If not upload the newly generated file.

During upgrade, it might have lost.

It should work fine if the xml file is valid and available in the correct location.

You need to add an exception to your .htaccess file to be able to open those files.
