SitemapXML v.2

[himmon]

Absolutely brilliant plugin! Thank you very much for your time and effort with this. A great tidy solution integrated nicely into zen cart admin with cron support.

Installed it, ran the reindex and and well within one hour my sites on the first page of a google search under a specific keyword search.

I have always been on page three or four for the same specific search terms for ages.

Btw, is there any recommended specific fine tuning you'd recommend for a site that is graphic image heavy? At the moment I have left everything at default configuration settings for the first test.

I was previously using a paid standalone version of xml-sitemaps which was very unstable when it reindexed for changes and hadnt been updated for a few years.

Thanks once again.

Hi,

Do not overestimate the importance of a site map. Google does not always follow the instructions of the site map. And well relink shop is quite possible to do without a site map.

Ok so I would like to use this with Ultimate URLs but cannot. I have to turn it off. But then for some reason, see my previous post about why google webmaster tools is not indexing the site.

When I run this with Ultimate URLs, after a while I set a internal server error. Here is the error

Here is the line in question

$this->fp = fopen($path . $filename, 'w+');

Here is what is produced before the error

Why? You can test SitemapXML with Ultimate URLs there - http://test.zen-cart.su/admin-demo/s...xml.php?gID=31

This is a permission error. Who needs to own the files for them to be writable by the server? You may need to change the ownership of the sitemap directory and the various sitemap files or change their permissions so they are writable. If you recently upgraded your server (or if your host did), there may be a change in how permissions need to be set.

Hello all,
I got recently a problem, and I will be very thankful for assistance.
I am a relative novice and almost ignorant in this field, so I am mostly use the services of a freelancer from Fiverr. Even so, it looks that he cannot fix it too.
I am on 1.5.4
At Search Console (Google) I get the following message: /https://www.petrutech.com/ Sitemap is HTML

Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.

The sitemap is not HTML, and it was "produced" using Google (as far as I know).

I think that I found the problem, but I don’t know how to fix it:
If you type http://www.petrutech.com/sitemap.xml or https://www.petrutech.com/sitemap.xml it works fine.
However, if you write www.petrutech.com/sitemap.xml it shows an error.
I don’t know if it is a canonical or redirected error, but I assume that Google gets an error from the www, without the http or https.
It also may be in the site cache…

I will appreciate any help / assistance

This looks more like a server configuration error than a zencart problem. Could be any number of things including bad DNS A records to poor commands in htaccess.

I install Berezin's sitemap on scores of sites, and they function flawlessly within seconds. I also don't use clunky plugins like Ultimate URL's, but the more reliable (and comprehensive CEON URI MAPPING).

And (in my experience) Fiverr freelancers are mostly buffoon chancers who have little idea of how zencart works.

@ schoolboy
Thank you very much for replying!
I've found the "CEON URI MAPPING" link for downloading, but I couldn't find "Berezin's sitemap" link...
Anyway, even if I will download these plug ins, which really look great, I don't have the guts (and the knowledge) installing them , and I am totally dependent on the guy from Fiverr.
Indeed, a freelancer from Australia (found in ZC site...) installed and solved in the past most of my ZC problems.
He is a real "pro" but I cannot afford the price, as the sales are decreased to ZERO. From the first page at Google, I am now within 30th-40th...
From 190,000 results on Google, it dropped to 9000 within a month.
I know that "almost everything cheap is very expensive", but as I cannot afford a "pro", I must use the services from Fiverr
Many thanks again,
petrutech

If you really need help, I'll try to help you. They came to me in private access to the FTP.
