<p>This plugin adds a shortcode that will list a hierarchical site map or list of a particular type of post such as page, post or custom post types with clickable links to view each listed entry. The shortcode is registered using the name: <code>rc_sitemap</code>. The shortcode will by default render an unordered list of the entries with a default class of <code>"rc_sitemap_list"</code>. The optional heading that it outputs has the default class of <code>rc_sitemap_heading</code>.</p>
<p>Overview of shortcode</p>
<p>Site map (<code>rc_sitemap</code>)</p>
<p>This shortcode is used to get and render a list of published posts like a site map. The attributes are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>post_type</code> – defaults to ‘page’. You can use ‘post’, ‘page’ or any post type name.</li>
<li><code>orderby</code> – defaults to ‘menu_order’. Comma-separated list of options to sort by: accepts ‘post_author’, ‘post_date’, ‘post_title’, ‘post_name’, ‘post_modified’, ‘post_modified_gmt’, ‘menu_order’, ‘post_parent’, ‘ID’, ‘rand’, or ‘comment_count’.</li>
<li><code>order</code> – defaults to ‘ASC’.</li>
<li><code>heading_text</code> – defaults to empty, show no heading.</li>
<li><code>heading_tag</code> – defaults to h2. Note, do not include greater than / less than characters, only the alphanumeric characters e.g. p, h1, h2, h3 etc.</li>
<li><code>heading_class</code> – defaults to <code>'rc_sitemap_heading'</code>. CSS Class added to the heading element.</li>
<li><code>child_of</code> – defaults to empty. Display only the sub-pages of a single page by ID. Default 0 (all pages). Note, only works for hierarchical post types.</li>
<li><code>depth</code> – defaults to empty. Number of levels in the hierarchy of pages to include in the generated list. Accepts -1 (any depth), 0 (all pages), 1 (top-level pages only), and n (pages to the given n depth).</li>
<li><code>exclude</code> – defaults to empty. Comma-separated list of post IDs to exclude.</li>
<li><code>include</code> – defaults to empty. Comma-separated list of post IDs to include.</li>
<li><code>wrapper</code> – defaults to <code>'ul'</code>. Wrapping element of the list. Note, do not include greater than / less than characters, only the alphanumeric characters e.g. ul, p etc.</li>
<li><code>wrapper_class</code> – defaults to <code>'rc_sitemap_list'</code>. CSS Class added to the wrapping element of the list.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example usage:</h3>
<p>The most basic shortcode will render a list of <code>page</code> post type entries as an unordered HTML list in ascending order with no list heading:</p>
<pre><code>[rc_sitemap]
</code></pre>
<p>The following is an example of a more advanced usage with custom settings applied via the various additional attributes:</p>
<pre><code>[rc_sitemap post_type="your_cpt_name" orderby="date" order="DESC" heading_text="My CPT Title" heading_tag="h1" heading_class="my_custom_heading_class" wrapper="ul" wrapper_class="my_custom_wrapper_class"]
</code></pre>

<h4>What is a sitemap?</h4>
<p>A sitemap is a file where you provide information about the pages and posts your site, and the relationships between them. Search engines read this file to more intelligently crawl your site. A sitemap tells the search engine which pages you think are important in your site, and also provides valuable information about these pages: for example, when the page was last updated, how often the page is changed, and any alternate language versions of a page.</p>
<h4>Plugin Features</h4>
<p>Easily create a sitemap which is then updated every hour, or can be updated manually at any time via the WordPress dashboard. You can select single pages/posts or entire posttypes that you want to exclude from the sitemap. It will generate both an XML sitemap and an HTML sitemap that you can display on your site via the shortcode or gutenberg block.</p>
<h4>We’ll keep search engines up-to-date for you</h4>
<p>If there are changes being made to your sitemap we’ll notify search engines for you. You don’t have to submit them manual anymore.</p>
<h4>What do we add to the sitemap?</h4>
<p>The following URLs are added to the sitemap (with an option to hide them, ofcourse):</p>
<ul>
<li>Pages</li>
<li>Posts</li>
<li>Post images</li>
<li>Post categories</li>
<li>Post tags</li>
<li>Custom post types</li>
<li>Custom taxonomies</li>
<li>Additional pages: Add URLs yourself</li>
</ul>
<h4>Robots editor</h4>
<p>While a sitemap allows search engines to scan pages faster, a robots.txt file disallows search engines from scanning certain pages. This plugin also comes with a handy robots editor to give you full control over your search engine visibility.</p>
<h4>Multilingual</h4>
<p>Companion Sitemap Generator also supports <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2620865?hl=en" rel="nofollow ugc">multilingual sitemaps</a>. Right now this is only supported when using the Polylang plugin but more plugins will be added upon request.</p>
<h4>Multisite</h4>
<p>This plugin has support for multisite. Each site will get its own sitemap.</p>
