Title: Scans site, shows files, but WON'T make proper SiteMap
Post by: metlifed on May 04, 2010, 04:15:53 PM
Scans site, shows files, but WON'T make proper SiteMap only on this site below:
The "Analyze website" tab SHOWS ALL the files perfectly, but when I click "Create sitemap" it only shows 5 or 6 files.

I've had no issues with other sites, only this one.

Any ideas?

It's a "funny" problem related to canonical and root path aliases in A1 Sitemap Generator.

All the pages in your site use canonical (http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/faq/sitemap-robots-noindex-nofollow/) to themselves... Which normally would mean A1 Sitemap Generator would know they are internal and thus not consider the canonical a kind of redirect.

However, the pages refer to themselves without "http://" in front. And A1 Sitemap Generator does not default to add a "www." without "http://" variation to its root path alias list (http://"http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/faq/root-aliases-start-paths/"). (One might also argue A1SG should be able to assume protocol to be "http://". I will look into why I am not already doing this.)

Anyways, you can either add it yourself, or wait a couple of days. I will have a new beta out then :)
