Feature Request: Include Site Maps

    By default, WordPress generates Site Maps. You can find the base site map at mysite.com/wp-sitemap.xml

    This links to a set of dynamically-generated additional maps based on post type, taxonomy, etc.

    Would it be possible to have the option to include these sitemap files as part the static site generation?

    If you’re using the Enhanced Crawl feature, Simply Static will automatically look at XML sitemaps as one of the sources it uses to discover URLs. That includes things like /wp-sitemap.xml and any sitemaps it links to. As long as WordPress is generating those sitemaps and they’re publicly accessible when you run the export, Simply Static will:

    • Request /wp-sitemap.xml
    • Follow the links to the child sitemaps
    • Export those XML files as static files along with your pages

    If you want explicit control, you can also tell Simply Static to include these sitemap URLs:

    1. Go to Simply Static → Settings → Include pages and files.
    2. Under Additional URLs, add (one per line).
    3. Run a full export.

    That ensures those XML files are explicitly included, even if they weren’t discovered automatically by the crawler for some reason.
