TOPIC: Generate Sitemap not working

Generate Sitemap not working 13 years, 6 months ago #20872

When I click on Generate Sitemap it pauses for a second and then crashes the plugin and takes me back to the Admin home screen in Joomla. When I go back in to the Sitemaps section in Joom SEF I get an error saying "Your sitemap file is deprecated or not created. After you make all the changes, you should hit the Generate XML button."

When I check the sitemap file it's basically empty. It only contains: <urlset xsi:schemaLocation="www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"> </urlset>

Can you help?

Awesome. This is happening across the board. And the only way to get support for a bug is to pay for it?

That's not making me very happy.

Sorry to hear you're having the same trouble I am. I generated it with an xml site map generator I found on the web and put it in my root folder. It works for SEO purposes and is definitely better than nothing.

This is the one I used: www.xml-sitemaps.com/

Thanks for letting me know.

Surely the developers must be working on it? It's a major component.

Who knows? I hope so but I haven't heard anything and they don't provide a way of getting in touch with them that I've been able to find - other than forums.

Using an external sitemap generator and getting an empty sitemap.xml could be caused by a setting in robots.txt setting. Are you sure that JoomSEF and the external generator are allowed to access your site urls?

I don't know.

I finally just bought the xml-sitemap generator tool mentioned above and it's working very well.
