I have tried to generate an XML sitemap on a number of occassions. When I attempt to do the whole site (about 600 urls) I sm brought back to the Control Panel and no file is generated.

In another post it was suggested to do 20 at a time. The problem is that it indicated each time it was generating the file and pinging Google and Bing, however, the final result was a file with only the last page of urls (15). It must hae overwritten the file each time.

How do I generate the file all at once or if necessary do it in stages without overwriting the file in each stage?

Thank you, Fred

I attempted to create the file again. It indicated it was done but no file was generated. The original sitemap.xml remains in the root directory unchanged. I am attaching a screen shot.

Hi,

The process of generating the Sitemap XML file is described in JoomSEF's documentation: www.artio.net/joomsef/documentation#sitemap

In short - first you need to select the URLs you want to be present in your sitemap by checking their Indexed checkbox. Then you need to click the Apply button in the toolbar which saves it. When you do this for all your URLs, you can just click the Generate XML button in the toolbar once and all the URLs that have the Indexed checkbox selected will be stored in your XML file.

Thank you for your assistance. I was able to generate the file.
