abhiz.2007 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello I would like to rename or generate a site map named "sitemap.xml" via "google sitemap" module Presently it generated the site map named as "http://abhishekproducts.in/1_en_0_sitemap.xml" i would like to replace that with "http://abhishekproducts.in/sitemap.xml" reason - for SEO optimization, as generally the crawlers look for file at domain.com/sitemap.xml. having a custom name forces me to manually configure the same at the webmaster tools of search engine services repeatedly. My store link - Abhishek Products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsifal Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 As far as I can tell, if you visit the link http://abhishekproducts.in/sitemap.xml, this automatically redirects to http://abhishekproducts.in/1_index_sitemap.xml, which contains all possible language sitemaps generated for your store (at the moment though, it only references an English sitemap, but if in the future you add more languages it should contain the corresponding sitemap files as well). I don't think you have to do anything, as is. Have you tried submitting the http://abhishekproducts.in/sitemap.xml sitemap URL in GWT? It didn't work as expected?

parsifal Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Oh, so the redirection was due to your efforts, not by Prestashop defaults. I see. Anyway, it's nice you solved it by yourself, kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
