Ben90 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I wonder to create the sitemap for my site using Google Sitemap pre-installed from Prestashop 1.6.0.9 (default theme). The sitemap generated address is /1_en_0_sitemap.xml instead of /sitemap.xml I wonder how can I fix this or is it alright if I leave it like that? So what I need to do is submit that "odd address" to Google, Yahoo, Bing, right? Or do you think it's better to fix it so that the sitemap address is /sitemap.xml ?

moraira Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi friend, It is because prestashop sitemap is made for Google, Don´t change it, it will be more easy for future updates of prestashop module If you made your shop in more languajes you will need with that systax, (is very interresting have you shop in more languajes for google shopping). In Google webmasters tools you will need the sitemap index (/1_index_sitemap.xml) who call to your future sitemaps (1_en_0_sitemap.xml, 1_de_0_sitemap.xml,1_es_0_sitemap.xml,1_fr_0_sitemap.xml,1_it_0_sitemap.xml, 1_br_0_sitemap.xml) BUT There is life beyond google, thinking about other browsers ... I would copy "1_en_0_sitemap.xml" named "sitemap.xml" and put it also in the root of your domain. Nothing is lost and help other robots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is lost and help other robots We only use English to be honest, it's been there since the beginning before I know it. Alright, so I make the copy of "1_en_0_sitemap.xml" & rename it as "sitemap.xml" and put it on the root. The only problem is it can't be automatically updated, right? Because the file who got an update from the module is "1_en_0_sitemap.xml", correct? So, I need to re-upload it manually if there's any changes.

You do not need to change anything. The sitemap file name can be any. My sitemaps are normally crawled by several search engines. For 3 years I didn't have any problems in this regards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dformica Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Please set up the following Sitemap URL in your Google Webmaster account: 1_index_sitemap.xml This URL is the master Sitemaps file. It refers to the following sub-sitemap files: 1_en_0_sitemap.xml I have seen videos where they sitemap they include in webmaster tooks is the en_0_sitemap.xml but reading the Google Sitemap module text above on my PS 1.6.0.13 it says to submit the 1_index_sitemap.xml. What is recommended? Submit the master only or sub-sitemap only? or both? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
