Unlucky Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Hi, If we purchase this and add some of our databases etc, do we have to do anything at the google end, or will our new sitemaps be automatically picked up and indexed? Thanks, sobrenome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, You can only specify a single news sitemap (one database). The sitemap will be at /newssitemap and needs submitting to Google via search console. sobrenome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamonT Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Is there option to treat topics from selected categories as news and put them in the News Sitemap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Millne Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just now, DamonT Is there option to treat topics from selected categories as news and put them in the News Sitemap? It is not currently possible to limit by category. All items within the selected database will be added to the news sitemap but this is a great suggestion. Thanks.

DamonT Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It would be great to have such option 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, You need to get accepted into Google News Publishing first. I HIGHLY recommend researching everything you need to do to get accepted before you submit your site to them. Probably a good idea to read this forum first. https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/threads?hl=en&thread_filter=(category:inclusion_advice) Sonya* and Unlucky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia999 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It would be fine if there would be an update. sobrenome and DamonT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Millne Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 This hasn't been very popular so I wasn't planning to update it but that said it's quite straightforward and doesn't require much in the way of support so I'll see what I can do. sobrenome and Claudia999 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Bullman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Slightly confused over this. Apparently theres no longer any need to get a site submitted for approval That being the case, what exactly am I supposed to put on this field? sobrenome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the name of your publication e.g. "Wall Street Journal" although it is no longer required to exactly match the name in your articles at Google.

Chris89 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Does this work on regular topics as well as pages? And do you still have a 4.4 version to download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is intended for a single Pages database only, it does not generate a news sitemap for discussion topics. Support for regular sitemaps in topics is built in to Invision Community. Unfortunately the 4.4 version is no longer available but you're missing out by not upgrading to 4.5 😄 4.4 is still available and can be accessed from the changelog on the file listing.

Chris89 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 To be honest it's mainly a styling reason why I don't want to upgrade to 4.5.... plus it would be hassle because I have lots of plugins and I don't know exactly what changes have been made as to how compatible things are now. But I don't really like a lot of the new changes that have been made style-wise and prefer the older 4.4 style. I think some of the new features are great (though not too keen about removing the Admin CP session from the URL) and I'd love to have them... it's just things like in topic where it states "X months later" and the way that some post actions etc are hidden to name a few things offhand.
