In this video, I will walk you through how to Create an XML Sitemap in All In On SEO.

First, let’s make sure you can view your XML Sitemap.

To get started, go to Sitemaps in the All in One SEO menu.

You’ll see the General Sitemap screen and you should see that Enable Sitemap is on. If it’s off, you’ll want to turn it on.

Click the Open Sitemap button to view your XML Sitemap.

You should see an index page for your XML Sitemap that looks like this:

The index page lists all of the sitemaps for your site. Each sitemap contains a different type of content. For example, above you’ll see there’s one for Posts and one for Pages.

Click on each link in the index to see the list of that content.

Now that you know how to view your XML Sitemap, let’s look at the basic settings.

Let’s start by deciding whether you want to have an index page for your sitemap.

If your site is very small (less than a few hundred URLs) then you may not need an index page. You can go ahead and set Enable Sitemap Indexes to Disabled.

If you’re in any doubt, just leave this set to Enabled.

Next, we’re going to decide how many URLs are listed in each sitemap.

When Sitemap Indexes are enabled, you’ll see a setting for Links Per Sitemap.

We limit each sitemap page to 1,000 URLs. If you have more than 1,000 URLs for any type of content, we’ll split the sitemap into pages, with 1,000 URLs in each page.

This helps to reduce the time it takes to create each sitemap so that search engines don’t give up when it takes too long.

You can typically leave this setting alone. If it’s taking too long to view your sitemap pages then lower this number.

Next, we’re going to decide what content we want to include in our sitemap. There are two settings here, Post Types and Taxonomies.

If you want to include all your content then you can leave the Include All Post Types and Include All Taxonomies check boxes set to checked.

If you uncheck these two check boxes you’ll see a list of all your content post types and taxonomies and can select which to include in your sitemap.

IMPORTANT:
Any content that has been set to be excluded from search results or set to No index under Search Appearance will not appear in these settings.

The last two settings are for date archives and author archives that are created by WordPress when you’ve published posts. We normally don’t include these in the sitemap because they have little value in search results. If you do want to include these in your sitemap then you can enable these settings.

And that’s it!
