Everything you need for a custom site map

We all know how difficult it can be to find a suitable plugin in the repo. The greater the wonder when a truly simple and multifunctional product is discovered, with good logic. In the “Sitemap by click5” I did not notice the absence of critical tools. It’s nice to see this in a free plugin.

My great little sitemap

Rod Mitchell September 23, 2022 3 replies

Great little plug in. Had an installation issue because of my lack of technical expertise. They came back to me pronto and explained how to fix it. Didn’t even ask for a review. Which is why I’m delighted to give them 5 big, fat stars ??

If I could give this 0 stars …

SYPOMark May 9, 2022

What is the point in a siteamp plugin that completely ignores the custom order set in the pages editor and simply arranges posts in alphabetical order? There is no logic at all to the way that this plugin arranges pages and posts. I had it installed for less than two minutes before I had to uninstall it in utter dismay. Please do better.
