How Do I Create a Google Sitemap in WordPress?
Creating a Google sitemap in WordPress is a two-step process. First, you need to create a plugin to do the job.
Then, you need to set up a Google Maps account and add your WordPress site to it.
Step 1: Install the Google Sitemap Plugin
The first step is to install the Google Sitemap plugin. To do this, go to the WordPress plugin directory and search for “Google Sitemap.
” The Google Sitemap plugin will be the first plugin that comes up.
Once you have installed the Google Sitemap plugin, go to the WordPress admin area and click on the “Sitemaps” link. This will open the Google Sitemap plugin’s settings page.
The first thing you need to do is to enter your WordPress site’s URL. You can find your WordPress site’s URL by going to the “Site Address” section of your WordPress admin area and typing in the address of your site.
Once you have entered your WordPress site’s URL, you need to decide what level of detail you want to include in your Google Sitemap. The Google Sitemap plugin offers three levels of detail:
No Detail – This is the default level of detail. This level of detail includes the title and all of the content on your WordPress site.
Partial Detail – This level of detail includes only the titles of the pages on your WordPress site.
Complete Detail – This level of detail includes the titles, the full content of the pages on your WordPress site, and the meta data (such as the author, date, and keywords) for the pages.
To choose a level of detail, click on the “Settings” button and then click on the “Sitemap Level” drop-down menu.
The next step is to decide how often you want the Google Sitemap to be updated. The Google Sitemap plugin offers two options:
Daily – The Google Sitemap plugin will automatically update your Google Sitemap every day.
Weekly – The Google Sitemap plugin will automatically update your Google Sitemap every week.
To choose how often the Google Sitemap will be updated, click on the “Settings” button and then click on the “Sitemap Update Frequency” drop-down menu.
Finally, you need to decide how you want the Google Sitemap to be displayed. The Google Sitemap plugin offers the following options:
In the WordPress Site – The Google Sitemap plugin will display the Google Sitemap in the WordPress admin area.
On the Google Maps Page – The Google Sitemap plugin will display the Google Sitemap on the Google Maps page.
To choose how the Google Sitemap will be displayed, click on the “Settings” button and then click on the “Sitemap Display Mode” drop-down menu.
Step 2: Add Your WordPress Site to the Google Maps Account
The second step is to add your WordPress site to the Google Maps account. To do this, go to the Google Maps website and sign in.
Once you have signed in to the Google Maps website, click on the “Maps” link in the top right corner of the screen. This will open the Google Maps page.
Next, click on the “Sitemaps” link in the left-hand side of the Google Maps page. This will open the Google Sitemap page.
Next, click on the “Add Site” button. This will open the Add Site dialog box.
In the Add Site dialog box, you need to enter your WordPress site’s URL.
Once you have entered your WordPress site’s URL, you need to choose which Google Maps map you want to add your WordPress site to. The Google Maps plugin offers the following options:
Google Maps – This is the default option. This option adds your WordPress site to the default Google Maps map.
Google Maps (with Street View) – This option adds your WordPress site to the Google Maps map with the Street View feature enabled.
Google Maps (with Street View and Map Type) – This option adds your WordPress site to the Google Maps map with the Street View and Map Type features enabled.
To choose which Google Maps map you want to add your WordPress site to, click on the “Maps” link in the left-hand side of the Google Maps page and then.
