A sitemap plugin to make it easier for your site to show all your pages, posts, archives, categories and tags in an easy to read format without any need for template modification or HTML/PHP knowledge in a page.
This plugin doesn’t create an XML file to be used with any search engine this is outside of what this plugin was designed to do.

I can’t think of anything else that I personally would need this plugin to do for my own use, if anyone feels it doesn’t meet their requirements, or has any suggestions as to how to make it better then please get in touch with me and I will see what I can do to accommodate your requests.
Please rate this plugin and/or make a <a href="http://goo.gl/mmUuGj" title="PayPal donation" rel="nofollow ugc">donation</a> if you find it useful, thank you.
<h3>Translations</h3>
WP Realtime Sitemap is available in various languages, some of which are only partially translated if you could help yourself and others by filling in some of the gaps to complete a translation I would personally be very grateful, you can see the translations here https://goo.gl/wwYdW8.
I have included a wp-realtime-sitemap.po file in the translations folder if you would prefer to use a standalone program such as Poedit, if you did choose to do the translation this way please also submit the translations to the http://translate.wordpress.org website also.
<h3>Examples</h3>
The shortcode will use the admin interface for all its configurable options the shortcode is now only used for where to display/output the sitemap at.
Show the sitemap: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap]</code>.
Ordering is done within the plugin settings page.
<h4>Old depreciated options for reference only</h4>
The example shortcodes below are for reference only for use using version below v1.5.2, please do not use these past this version as they are unlikely to be included in future versions, and should therefore be treated as depreciated.
Show everything: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap show="all"]</code>.
Show pages: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap show="pages"]</code>.
Show posts: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap show="posts"]</code>.
Show custom post types: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap show="custom-posts"]</code>.
Show archives: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap show="archives"]</code>.
Show categories: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap show="categories"]</code>.
Show tags: <code>[wp-realtime-sitemap show="tags"]</code>.

The primary goal of PW_Archives is to be light-weight and efficient. I’ve tried almost all of the popular archiving plugins out there, and so many of them make hundreds or even thousands of queries depending on the number of posts you have on your site. PW_Archives makes only one query to get your posts. That’s it. Not only that but it doesn’t do endless amounts of looping and counting to determine post and comment counts. That’s all included in the one query it does, and it’s very efficient.
The second main goal of PW_Archives is customization. Almost everything is customizable. Select what post types to include, choose whether you want the javascript to fade in or slide down (or no javascript at all). You can even select the date format and add custom markup. If you don’t know HTML, don’t worry; the defaults will work for most people.
