Hi all,
Quick question - does anybody have any recommendations for the best XML sitemap plugin for Wordpress?
An idea of why you like it would also be helpful.
Thank you very much!

Hi Keith,
OK great thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a try.
Sorry to bother you again but have another quick question as I'm struggling to exclude child URLs from the sitemap. Have posted another question here, if you are interested in answering yet another question!
Thanks,
Mark

I would recommend Yoast over ANY SEO plugin to be honest....
-
Thanks Keith and John, much appreciated!
With regards to the SEO plugin, would you recommend Yoast above All in One SEO? I've tended to use that in the past and it's pretty good, however if you have some reasons for why Yoast is better then I'll definitely give that a try next time.
Thanks again,
Mark

Spot on - Google XML sitemap is the one I was about to recommend before I saw Keith beat me to it : )
There's a few others but the above is certainly the easiest to use. I'd also recommend the Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin if you're looking at optimising your WP site.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/ is the one I use on over 20 WP sites, it is easy to set up, one click and your done. With over 7.5 million downloads I think it's pretty popular

Best practice to handle Wordpress Categories/Tags
Hello Mozzers, I am sure a lot of people here are using wordpress. How do you handle Categories & Tags? I came across that they produce a lot of duplicate content in the google index. My website is brand new so I don't have any traffic yet, how would you handle it? noindex, follow? Or block /categories/ and /tags/ from robots.txt? Probably I am completely wrong with both ways? I am grateful for your answers! Best regards!

.%E2%80%9d breaking the URL in wordpress
My wordpress URL is breaking and there are 5000 not found urls in webmaster due to some code being added %E2%80%9d. This code stands for double quotation marks - " Now the question is, where has my site gone wrong? I will tell you the changes which i have made Deleted a Vbulletin forum - Half of the errors are due to the forum being deleted directly Upgraded to Wordpress 3.3 (crawl errors did not show on the same day. Much later) Upgraded to Blue host pro (crawl errors did not show on the same day. Much later) These are some of the speculations. But nonetheless i have no idea why this is happening. To give further hints, the Home page URL is being added to the original URL. http://www.marketing91.com/article/http://www.marketing91.com http://www.marketing91.com/article/http://www.wrodpress.org So these are a list of problems i am facing in URL. Now i have no idea why this is happening. I can account for the deletion of a vbulletin forum. But that accounts only for half of the crawl errors. So any replies or answers??

How to Redirect all inactive Feed to a specific Wordpress page
Hi Guys, I've been doing much cleaning on my blog lately and deleted numerous categories including their posts with low quality content. After deleting the categories, Google Webmaster Tools is reporting some 404 errors about the RSS Feeds for the deleted categories. I've created a 404.php file inside my theme and placed the following code header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");

header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/My404Page/", true, 301);
exit();
?> this have catched all 404 errors and redirected them to the specific page. Unfortunately, it could not catch the inactive feed urls. Is there a way to do this so that all inactive feeds will be redirected to my 404 page? Thanks in advance....0 -
Problems with changing the page title on Wordpress Site...
The website is http://www.masterpieceinteriors.co.uk/ I'm not sure why the homepage title is reading 'masterpieces' in Google but looks fine here. There seem to be 2 versions of the homepage coming up in google - you can see them both by searching 'masterpieceinteriors' and then 'masterpiece interiors'. Some help would be hugely appreciated!
