Overview

About this plugin

xml file.

Features

  • It needs virtually no configuration, so it works on its own from the moment you activate it.
  • Automatically adds every YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion video.
  • Supports every custom post type.
  • Also detects videos hosted on your own website: the video block, the [video] shortcode and the media library.
  • Finds videos even when they live in the custom fields of the most common page builders or in the oEmbed cache.
  • Publishes the duration, the publication date and the uploader of each video.
  • Groups every video of the same page into a single sitemap entry, the way Google’s specification expects.
  • Contextual help on the settings page, explaining where the sitemap is and what goes into it without leaving the screen.
  • Automatically caches the external data of each video to speed up building sitemap-video.xml.
  • Emails the site administrator when a video has been deleted or made private, so you can edit the post and remove the URL that is no longer valid.
  • Fully compatible with WordPress Multisite installations.
  • Automatically generates several sitemaps, with a maximum of 50,000 pages in each one.
  • Refreshes the sitemap as soon as a post is published, edited or deleted.
  • Announces itself in robots.txt and in the WordPress sitemap index, so search engines can find it.
  • Warns you if Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress is already publishing a video sitemap, so you do not end up with two.
