    Hello,
    I’ve just installed Google Sitemaps xml, but I wonder if it is ok that the sitemap is accessible to everybody??? If not, is it possible to make it inaccessible to users? If yes, could you please explain how to do that? Just in case… i’m using the Hueman theme

    Cheers,

    It’s perfectly fine for it to be accessible. An XML sitemap only includes public pages you want search engines to index, so there should be no problem with regular visitors also seeing it.

    Are you asking how to make it visible to regular visitors?

    Thank you so much… No, I was not asking how to make it visible. I was just worried that it was visible to everybody. Thanks again. : )
