Where is the sitemap page

It is at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml it is intended to only be read by robots. Do you want to create an HTML site map for people to read? If so check out https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/html-sitemap/

edit: Just to clarify i am not the developer of either plugin.

I saw on webmaster tools a complicated procedure for adding a site map, is that necessary to do anyway?

That file is for verifying ownership of your site so you can use Google Webmaster Tools in relation to your site. To do that, just download that file Google offers at Webmaster Tools and then add it (upload via FTP/SFTP at your server) into your site’s “root” folder where your sitemap.xml file is already located.

Thank you for your reply’s.
SO as long as I install the plugin, the site map for Google is done?

I have seen pages on websites labeled “sitemap” so I assumed I would have one but that isnt the case?

Also, the verification is too complicated for me. I spent a couple of hours with it trying to understand it.

Can you direct me to any one who can take me step by step– I would even buy training.
I just really don’t understand

site map
webmaster tools
Google analytic s

and I have broken my site messing with the editor. Any suggestions for a non-understander of wp files?

Thanks Mary

Hi Mary,

It is necessary for you to go to the sitemap plugin settings page and generate the file sitemap. In order to do that please tick the checkbox “I want to create a new sitemap file or update the existing one” and click “Save Changes”.

If you want a Sitemap file to be added to Google Webmaster Tools automatically you should enter your login and password and choose the necessary action.
In order to add a path to your sitemap file in robots.txt you do not need to enter login and password, you should just select the necessary field and click “Update button”. If you’re using multisiting, the plugin does not allow to add a sitemap to robots.txt.

You can also add your site on your page webmaster tools manually – https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

Google analytics – we can assist, but it is a paid service, please contact our support team here https://support.bestwebsoft.com and specify your requirements (except sitemap installation and binding to webmaster tools) and we will estimate the time.
