Hi arturius,

Just to confirm, you are using this plugin to generate a Google News sitemap and have selected the correct “Add Google News Sitemap” option when adding the sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools?

If the above is correct then please supply me with a hyperlink to the sitemap in question so I can verify the output myself.

Hi all,

The new release (v1.3) has been made available today.

It has all the new additions as requested and the admin interface has been improved.

Give it a go and let me know if you have any problems, only tested on latest (2.8.2) WordPress installation.

ntharp/Asta:

Delete the following code from twitter-tools.php file:

, ‘source’ => ‘twittertools’

Should be line 437.

This will remove the “from Twitter Tools” line on Twitter and replace it with “from web”.

However, please promote the plugin authors where you can and donate if you find a plugin useful as plugins like this take alot of time to produce.

Hi,

Everyone who was getting the “line 149” error – this is because you are directly accessing the plugin script in a attempt to generate the sitemap. This is not necessary, just save/publish/delete a post from the normal WordPress admin panel to auto-generate the Google News Sitemap.

A new version of the plugin (v1.2) has been release today with general bug fixes, easy to understand instructions and a new settings panel to modify basic settings when generating the sitemap.

Any problems or feedback is welcome to help me develop the next version of this plugin.

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in a response, I have been busy with other projects.

A new version of this plugin will be avaliable soon with an admin interface and bugs resolved.

Thank you for your feedback and help testing this beta version.

Thanks for pointing that out, I was testing on a earlier version of WordPress and everything seemed to be running ok. Let me know if you spot anything else as this is still very much a beta version.

The admin panel has not been developed yet, but I have plenty of ideas for custom settings!

Please let me know how you get on with this plugin, all comments/suggestions for future releases kindly received.

V1.1 should now be compatible with the 2.3+ WordPress taxonomy.

Keywords are auto-generated from the category of the posts.

Any problems or suggestions for future development, please let me know!

Hi DrHallows,

I wrote the original script for this plugin and have recently updated it for all you people using the newer WordPress 2.3+ database taxonomy.

Please try the latest version (v1.1) from here: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/google-news-sitemap-generator/

I have plenty of other developments in the pipeline for this plugin, but this should suffice for now.

Hi djr,

Thank you for your feedback.

This is my first release of this new plugin and your feedback is very useful.

The next release will be compatible with WP 2.3+ and will include a comprehensive admin menu with many more features!
