Instant Sitemap<\/strong> is a lightweight, zero-configuration plugin<\/strong> that gives you a single, powerful feature:
\nA one-click \u201cGenerate Sitemap\u201d button in your WordPress admin<\/strong> (left menu \u2192 Instant Sitemap<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n

When clicked, it:\n- Instantly generates a static sitemap.xml<\/code><\/strong> file in your site's root.\n- Backs up the previous sitemap with a timestamped filename<\/strong> (e.g., sitemap-20250718-143500.xml<\/code>).\n- Counts URLs (before and after) and shows a live AJAX notice<\/strong> with the difference.\n- Works with all public post types<\/strong> (Posts, Pages, CPTs).\n- Loads scripts only on the plugin page<\/strong> for a lean, clean admin.<\/p>\n\n

No settings. No bloat. Just click and done.<\/p>\n\n

Why This Plugin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Unlike bulky SEO plugins (Yoast, AIOSEO, RankMath), Instant Sitemap does only one thing \u2013 and does it fast.<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s perfect for developers, minimalists, or anyone who just wants a quick, static sitemap<\/strong> for Google & Bing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by [M Media] (https:\/\/www.mmediausa.com\/instant-sitemap\/).<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the instant-sitemap<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> (or use the WP Admin \u201cUpload Plugin\u201d feature).<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin via Plugins \u2192 Installed Plugins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. In the left admin menu, click Instant Sitemap<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Hit Generate Sitemap<\/strong> to instantly create or refresh sitemap.xml<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Where is my sitemap?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    It\u2019s located in your WordPress root directory as sitemap.xml<\/code>. A backup of the old file is saved as sitemap-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.xml<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it include pages, posts, and custom post types?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes!<\/strong> All public post types are included by default.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it automatically ping Google or Bing?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Not yet, but that feature is on the roadmap.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I customize changefreq or priority?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Currently, all URLs are set to weekly<\/code> and 0.8<\/code>. A filter hook will be added for customization in a future update.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will it work with multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    It currently generates a sitemap per-site. Multisite network-wide generation may be added later.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What happened to the admin bar button?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    As of v1.4<\/strong>, the UI lives on a dedicated Instant Sitemap<\/strong> admin page in the left menu for better UX and fewer accidental clicks. (Advanced users can re-add an admin-bar button with a small snippet if they prefer.)<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I put it under Tools instead of a top-level menu?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes; developers can swap to a Tools submenu with:\n add_submenu_page('tools.php','Instant Sitemap','Instant Sitemap','manage_options','instant-sitemap','instant_sitemap_render_admin_page');<\/p>\n\n<\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
