### [Simple and effective XML Sitemap Generator](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-effective-xml-sitemap-generator/)
[PeppermanWP](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peppermanwp/) Onwa-iri 25, 2024
A simple and effective XML Sitemap generator. Adding individual fields to pages,
you can change the parameter, or you can exclude pages from the sitemap
if desired, and the whole map will be written fresh every time you save a page,
with updated save dates. Author was responsive to an error that appeared in my PHP
log, and everything works smooth (version 2.2.7). IMHO, this handy little plugin
deserves way more users.

This plugin does a great job generating an XML sitemap automatically. It does what
its supposed to do without errors or obtuse complexities such as with “Big Name”
SEO plugins.
