Version 2.2.3 has been released. It fixes this bug.

Please, let me know if it works for you.

Hi.

I’ve just looked into my plugin code and it is bug. I’ve changed some time ago some classes names and in this line I’ve not changed it (it use old class name). Somehow it was not visible during tests. I’m very sorry for this bug, because it was something which can be easily avoided.

Today I will release a fixed version. I’ll let you know when it will happen.

Today there has been released new version of Kocuj Sitemap plugin – 2.1.0. This version has also option for WordPress installations with themes with damaged list styles.

This is from Kocuj Sitemap plugin FAQ:

Sometimes the multi-level sitemap is displayed without additional left margins. It is not this plugin fault, but it is problem in your theme! This plugin does not create the sitemap appearance. It is task for your theme. When this problem occurs, it is not relate only to the sitemap, but to all multi-level lists on your website. You should contact with your theme author and he should fix this bug.

If you can’t fix this problem for some reason (author of theme is unavailable, he can’t fix the bug, etc.), the Kocuj Sitemap plugin has the solution. However, this solution is only for the sitemap – problems with all other multi-level lists will not be corrected in any way. To fix the problem with multi-level sitemap, you should go to the administration settings for the Kocuj Sitemap plugin (submenu Basic settings), click on the tab Sitemap format, enter the required left margin in field Force left margin in pixels for each level on multi-level list and click on the Save settings button.

I think this topic can be closed, because it is resolved.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad that it works!

OK. I’ll be waiting then for information.

Your feedback (if it works or not) would be helpful, because I’d like to add information about this to FAQ for all other people which have the same problem.

I forget about HTML 5 websites. Please, use this code instead of this from previous post:

.kocujsitemap ul ul {
margin-left: 15px;
}

I’ve checked your website and it is as I thought – it is problem with theme.

Your sitemap generated by “Kocuj Sitemap” plugin is displayed correctly as multi-level list. It can be seen in source of your website. However, styles for your website has some problem with multi-level website and are displaying it without any margins on the left. All styles are from theme, not from plugin. The “Kocuj Sitemap” plugin do not generates any styles but only code for the sitemap.

So, this is definitely problem with theme.

If you have problems with changing CSS styles for your theme (I think you can have problems, because – as you said – you’re not a webmaster or programmer), I can propose some alternative solution. Because list with sitemap is tagged as generated by the “Kocuj Sitemap” plugin (by setting “div” class as “kocujsitemap”), you can add your own styles. To do so, you can try the following steps in the following order:

1) Install plugin “Simple Custom CSS” ( https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-custom-css/ ) to add new CSS styles to your website.

2) Go to configuration for “Simple Custom CSS” plugin and add the following text into it:

div.kocujsitemap ul ul {
margin-left: 15px;
}

3) Click on button “update custom CSS” to add this CSS style.

After refreshing your website, you should have the sitemap correctly displayed. You can change the value “15” to something which you likes better for your website. This value is the width for indentations on list.

It looks like I should think about adding some options for styling into my plugin. Unfortunately, it looks like there are few themes which has wrong styling for multi-level lists. It should be corrected by their authors, but I know that sometimes it is not possible to get fix from author and it looks like I should do something about this for people who has these problems. I will think about this for future versions of my plugin.

This method provides in this post can be used by any other website.

Please, let me know if it works, if you will try it.

Hello.

Yes, you can.

In the menu “Sitemap” there are a few submenus. Each submenu (except for “basic settings”, “order of elements”, “restore settings” and “about”) is for controlling each WordPress data type. For example, options in submenu “authors list options” controls which authors will be display and how.

When you click on such submenu you will see options for this data type. In each of these submenu there is an option “display SOMETHING”, where “SOMETHING” is the name of this data type. For example, when you click on submenu “authors list options”, there will be an option “display authors” in displayed settings. Checking this field will display this data type in sitemap, unchecking it – remove it from the sitemap. Remember, that after any change in option you should click on the button “save options” or similar which is on bottom of the list of settings.

In your case you should select one by one each option which control any data type – except custom posts type – and unchecked “display SOMETHING” setting in each of it. Then you should click on the submenu “custom post types options” and make sure that option “display custom post types” is checked. Then, you should click on the tab “custom post types list” and there you can select multiple custom post types to be displayed in sitemap. To do this, click on the dropdown field and select one custom post type from the list. If you have done this step in the dropdown list which was empty, there will be added another empty dropdown list where you can select another custom post type from the list. If you want to change the order of the custom post types, you can click on one of the arrows next to the entry to move it up or down. Clicking on the “X” button deletes the entry.

You can also look on help which is one every settings page in each submenu for “sitemap” menu. Help in WordPress is available when you click on the “help” button located in top right corner of the administration panel. There are information for each option and each setting. My answer above was partially copied from this help.

I’m very sorry that I’m sending my data after that long time, but I have a little time to do this. I’ve done this at e-mail: [email protected]

For me, your plugin still does not work.

Kocuj Sitemap plugin does display the hierarchical sitemap. If your menu has submenus it will be displayed in this way. if your pages has child pages, it will also be displayed in this way.

Which WordPress version do you use? Which Kocuj Sitemap plugin version do you use? Are you sure that this problem is not because of your theme which display list incorrectly?

Can you copy fragment of your HTML source with the sitemap here? It will be helpful to check what is going on, because I still can’t understand your problem.

I’ve just checked the Kocuj Sitemap plugin one more time and it display all of this as it should be – hierarchical if it is defined in this way.

I don’t understand exactly the problem. Can you provide more information? What do you mean by “my menu is not display properly”?

The beta version also does not change anything on my website.

katmoody: “In order to troubleshoot this further we’ll need more information though. If any of you could reach out through the support module at the top of the backup page we’d sure appreciate it…”.

I’d like to, but on my website this support module is just not working. It displays only information about my system, some errors (“sh: /bin/whoami: Permission denied sh: /bin/whoami: Permission denied sh: /bin/whoami: Permission denied sh: /bin/groups: Permission denied sh: /bin/groups: Permission denied sh: /bin/groups: Permission denied”) and nothing more I can do.

So I’d like to sort out this bug here. Or tell me which data do you need and I send it to you. Backup is very important on my websites. I have just one website attacked by someone and I did not have current backups of database because of this. Please, this is very important. I can send anything you need, but “enable support” button is just not working for me. Currently I just want to search for another solution because backup is very important and now it is not working.

I have the same problem. “Your site root path isn’t readable” and no backup is created anymore. I’ve just came here to add information about this bug.

I have the latest WordPress (4.4.2), my website is not installed in subdomain, but in root, so the home directory is just “/”. Maybe it is something which is somehow responsible for this error…

I’ve just updated the Kocuj Sitemap plugin to version 1.3.3. It should be a lot better now. Please, update and check if it is working for you.

And please let me know about the results.
