Hello,

I have included some menu as data sources for my sitemap.

Everything is ok for HTML sitemap; but I can not see some of items at XML sitemap; why? I am sure I have checked to show those items at XML sitemap inside parameter options (I attach screen shot).

You may check what I am saying here, as you can see many items available at HTML are not available at XML, neither raw neither formated XML:

> HTML: http://www.aceitescosmeticos.es/component/jmap/sitemap

> XML: http://www.aceitescosmeticos.es/index.php?option=com_jmap&view=sitemap&format=xml&xslt=1

I attach screen shot of data source menu "NUESTRA GAMA DE ACEITES" as you can see XML option is checked but it does not show at XML sitemap.

I am very thankful for your help and support.

Thank you,

Jacobo

Hello,

the answer is simple, your menu "NUESTRA GAMA DE ACEITES" include external links pointing to different domains so they are NOT VALID for an XML sitemap.

The XML sitemap for search engines can contain only links to the same domain, otherwise it would not be accepted by search engines, for this reason external links are automatically discarded.

Best regards,
John
