sailing123 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi I noticed that the sitemap is including absolutely every single page including all products, categories, etc that have been unticked under "visible" and "status". I do not understand why pages marked to be no visible or no status unticked can appear in the sitemap. As result, search engines are crawled them all when they should not. This has to be a bug surely ? S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayz1 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Never use it for that reason. You can get one at http://www.web-site-map.com/ for active links. Using either method for a sitemap on an ecommerce website is not idea because there will be some products that will come back into stock that you might want to keep in the index.

Dirty Butter Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I just tried on my 6.1.8 stock test store. I unchecked the status box for one item and created the sitemap.xml.gz. On decompress the sitemap does not show the disabled product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailing123 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I have not yet upgraded to 6.1.8, waiting for a few days first. Ok, good to know, thanks. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I've been on the 6.1.8 commit for some time and found it very stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
