XML Sitemap Generator for Google


I just got a popup when logging in to my site.  I got this on the dashboard of my site.  This wasn't a banner at the top.  This was a popup.  I wasn't on your plugin page.  IT WAS ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



If you ever show a popup again I will remove your plugin from every single site I have ever built and never install again.  I've been a web developer for over 20 years.....that is a lot of sites.



"""""Would you help us improve Google XML Sitemaps by sharing anonymous usage data? We intend to understand feature usage and use cases better so that we can provide you with the best indexation and indexing performance.""""""



I said no when I installed and I meant it.  What does a parent do when their kids nag?  They ground them.


Showing popups on login to dashboard


I needed an image sitemap and saw in the bio that it was supposed to be available, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I even created a support ticket, but unfortunately, there was no response from the development team.
