Lightweight, standards-compliant XML sitemap generator for WordPress.

== Description ==
VB Sitemap Generator creates XML sitemaps dynamically with caching and without unnecessary overhead.

Features:
* Sitemap index: /sitemap.xml
* Sharded main sitemaps: /sitemap-main-*.xml
* Image sitemap: /sitemap-images-*.xml
* Includes images in main sitemap entries
* Publish-only URLs
* Respects noindex
* Uses post_modified_gmt for lastmod
* Robots.txt integration

The plugin follows modern XML sitemap standards and avoids deprecated elements like changefreq and priority.

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Open `/sitemap.xml` to verify output.
