HTML sitemap #37

Closed lukefretwell closed 10 years ago

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

Previously, we had an HTML sitemap template.

Is this something we can add back?

Something like this: https://yoast.com/html-sitemap-wordpress/

Or is there a plugin we can recommend? Would prefer something that's there's not a lot of work needed to set up.

Examples:

I believe HTML sitemaps are firmly plugin territory.

A site with with thousands of pages will have different html sitemap needs than one with just 50. Some sites may want to emphasize taxonomies, or custom post types. Other may want to ignore.

There are also performance concerns. If a sitemap template is querying all the content on the site- that could have a huge impact if not cached and loaded properly.

I'll keep an eye out for good plugins to recommend and we can perhaps add additional support for them with the theme.

Agree best as plugin. Didn't even think that these would exist. Seems like the second one is a nice, simple alternative. I'll play with it tonight. I'm hung up on that feature because I get asked about it enough.

'WP Sitemap Page' seems to do the trick.

Example: http://govpress.co/sitemap/

We may want to add styling. Let me keep this ticket open until I can take a look at the plugin.
