WP Sitemap Page – Setup & Usage Guide

Overview

WP Sitemap Page is a lightweight WordPress plugin that allows you to display a full sitemap on any post or page using a simple shortcode. It’s ideal for improving site navigation and SEO by providing an organized list of content.

Plugin Details

  • Version: 1.9.4
  • Type: Sitemap Display Plugin
  • Dependencies: None

Purpose

This plugin helps users generate a front-end sitemap that displays pages, posts, categories, and other custom post types. It provides flexibility by allowing shortcode-based control over which content types to include.

How to Configure

To access and configure WP Sitemap Page:

  • Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
  • Navigate to Settings > WP Sitemap Page.
  • From this settings page, you can:
    • Choose how post links are displayed using template variables (e.g., {title}, {permalink})
    • Customize post display format (e.g., year, month, day)
    • Display items from multiple categories
    • Exclude specific pages, custom post types, and taxonomies
    • Enable or disable the plugin’s attribution link
    • Add nofollow to sitemap links for SEO control

Usage Instructions

To use WP Sitemap Page:

  • Insert the shortcode {wp_sitemap_page} into any post or page to display the full sitemap.
  • To limit the sitemap to certain content types, use shortcode attributes like:
    • {wp_sitemap_page only="page" – display only pages}
    • {wp_sitemap_page only="post" – display only posts}
    • {wp_sitemap_page only="category" – display only categories}

Note: Curly braces {} are used above to prevent WordPress from parsing the shortcodes. When using the shortcodes on your site, replace the curly braces with square brackets [].

No coding is required. The plugin parses and displays content automatically based on your shortcode.
