Generate a searchable HTML list or table from one or more XML sitemaps via shortcode, with human-readable titles extracted from each URL’s final path segment.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Display multiple sitemaps together in list or table layouts </li>
<li>Live search input filters entries by title or URL </li>
<li>Automatic title extraction: takes only the last path segment (after the final “/”), replaces separator characters (dash or underscore) with spaces, then applies casing (Title Case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, ucfirst, or none) </li>
<li>Options to show or hide the original URL and last-modified date </li>
<li>Server-side shortcode generator in settings for easy copy-and-paste (all parameters always visible) </li>
<li>Configurable cache TTL (in seconds) to reduce external requests</li>
</ul>
<h3>How Titles are Generated</h3>
<ol>
<li>Take the URL path after the final slash (<code>/</code>). </li>
<li>URL-decode that segment. </li>
<li>Replace the configured “Slug Separator” (default <code>-</code>) and underscores (<code>_</code>) with spaces. </li>
<li>Collapse multiple spaces to one. </li>
<li>Apply the selected case rule. </li>
</ol>
For example: https://example.com/category/sub-item-name 
→ “sub-item-name” → “sub item name” → “Sub Item Name” (Title Case)
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Only the last URL segment is used—intermediate directories or multiple segments cannot be included. </li>
<li>No per-entry custom titles beyond the global slug-separator and casing settings. </li>
<li>Cannot select a specific path depth (e.g. “take the second-to-last segment”). </li>
<li>No support for injecting custom templates or HTML around each item beyond the built-in list/table output.</li>
</ul>

Really works with custom post types

Take control of your WordPress core XML Sitemap and add a Google News Sitemap.
