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.
