DNN SiteMap.aspx Creating Invalid SiteMap 

I have noticed many users on a default DotNetNuke 4.5 and 4.5.1 installation mentioning errors when using the DotNetNuke built in sitemap generator for use with Google.  If you are receiving errors aftr submitting your sitemap to Google, check the error logs that are generated.  If the error states that it is invalid to have a link to http://www.dotnetnuke.com inside your sitemap, you can do the following to fix the issue.

  1. Login to your site as host
  2. From the "Host" menu select "Host Settings"
  3. Under the "Appearance" setting uncheck the box next to "Show Copyright Credits"
  4. Click "Update" to save your settings

This simple change to remove the DNN Copyright information will fix your sitemap by removing the link to DotNetNuke.com, it will also remove the DNN version information from each page title as displayed in the browser.

Hi,

I have a strange issue with my DNN created sitemap (the one for Google, not the module for visitors).

The page only shows 361 links on it, even though my site has over 500 pages. There are no robots, no hidden pages, and i have checked all links are working by using Xenu link checker.

I noticed this last night, and on further inspection it doesnt appear to have been working correctly for several months.

Google still accept the sitemap as valid, but what reasons could possibly be behind it not picking up all of the URLs on my site?

Regards
Rob
