Hello,

All of the website i own have an XML sitemaps, i have not installed this on my IPB4 yet.

What is /sitemap.php used for i been running the forum for a week and there is nothing in the file.

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

Is this supposed to do something?

Thanks

It is supposed to be used by crawlers, so that they can easily find the (new) pages of your site.

More info:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_map
• https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/156184?hl=en

Also, IPS uses a sitemap index, which links to the sitemaps with the links from different areas of the suite.

Ok.

Looking at how IPB4 works

= Profile information 

http://www.xxxx.co.uk/sitemap.php?file=sitemap_profiles_1

= status information

http://www.xxxx.uk/sitemap.php?file=sitemap_content_core_Statuses_Status_1

= Homepage Topic headings

http://www.xxxx.co.uk/sitemap.php?file=sitemap_content_forums_Forum

What about new posts and new topics?

Thanks
