Sitemap Plus

Description

Sitemap Plus automatically generates your WordPress site’s XML sitemap file, including pages, posts, categories, tags, custom post types, and custom taxonomies, plus any standalone URLs you want to add. With the sitemap path automatically inserted into robots.txt and a connection to your Google Webmaster Tools account, it helps search engines crawl and index your content more predictably, with no code editing required.
