== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why use this plugin if WordPress already has a core sitemap? =

This plugin provides extra control over included content, manual regeneration, and search engine ping in a lightweight package.

= Where is my sitemap located? =

Your sitemap is available at `https://example.com/sitemap.xml`.

= Is this multisite compatible? =

Yes. Settings are stored per-site and the plugin works on multisite installations.

= What happens if I uninstall the plugin? =

Plugin settings are intentionally preserved for reinstall scenarios. Note that `/sitemap.xml` is served by this plugin, so the endpoint is unavailable while the plugin is inactive or removed.
