An easy, fast and secure plugin that adds both an xml and an html sitemap to your site, which updates and maintains themselves so you dont have to!

== Description ==

Simple Wp Sitemap is a plugin that creates and adds both an xml and an html sitemap to your page as static files. These two are updated automatically everytime a post or page is created, edited or deleted, and makes sure they're easily indexed. What this means you only have to install and activate the plugin once, and it will just work for you without you ever having to worry.

Reason the sitemaps are created as static files and aren't generated everytime someone's visiting them, is because of the awesome performance that comes with not having to do database queries and php rendering all day. Sure you have to wait a couple milliseconds extra when you create a new or edit a post, but in my opinion that's totally worth it!

Also supports the option to add pages to the sitemaps that aren't part of your original wordpress site. For instance if you create a little html file and upload to your server and want it to be included in them, it's easily done. You can also block pages that you don't want to be included.

So what the plugin actually does is creating two files, one sitemap.xml and one sitemap.html. These two becomes available directly on your site at like yourpage.com/sitemap.xml and yourpage.com/sitemap.html.

And yes, of course the sitemaps are mobile friendly :)

== Installation ==

1. 1. Go to the plugins page in your wordpress admin area and hit "add new".
   2. Either search for "simple-wp-sitemap" and click install, or hit "upload plugin" and upload the zip file.
   3. Another way is by just uploading the "simple-wp-sitemap" folder via ftp to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

2. Activate the plugin and thats it, done. The two sitemaps have now been created and can be found at like yourpage.com/sitemap.xml and yourpage.com/sitemap.html.

3. Customize the plugin and add/block pages by hitting the "Simple Wp Sitemap" option in the settings menu.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I have installed the plugin, where can I find the sitemaps? =

They are located in your sites so called "home directory", you can find them at like yourpage.com/sitemap.xml and yourpage.com/sitemap.html. There's also links to them from the plugins customization page in your admin area.

= Where can I find the customization or admin page for the plugin? =

Click the link called "Simple Wp Sitemap" in your admin areas settings menu and it will take you there. Theres also a link from the plugins page, where you activate and deactivate them etc.

= Does it create both an xml and an html sitemap? =

Yes sir, it does.

= Is it possible to add the sitemaps anywhere else on my site? Like on a page with a shortcode or something? =

Sorry no, not at the moment it isn't.

= Which one of the sitemaps should I submit to google and to other search engines? =

The sitemap.xml one.

= Do I actually have to go ahead and submit the sitemaps anywhere? =

Not really, search engines usually finds them automatically when they visit your site. However if you have webmaster tools at google or bing etc, that could be a good place to do it to get statistics over indexed pages and stuff.

As static files. They get updated everytime you create, edit or delete a post or page. And also when changes are made in the admin area.
