Google XML Sitemaps with Multisite support

Google XML Sitemaps with Multisite support is just modified Google XML Sitemaps plugin, originally written by Arne Brachhold.

Some time ago I was employed to work on Gnosis.hr site, which needs to drive two sites on one WordPress installation – one for Croatian version and another for the English one. Everything seemed fine until I realized that Google XML Sitemaps isn’t working with Multi site installation.

My modification changes this – you can have numerous sites on one installation and each of them can have own sitemap.

Installation:

  • Install “Google XML Sitemaps with Multisite support” through the WordPress admin (or download)
  • Create “sitemaps” directory in directory where you’ve installed WordPress
  • Make “sitemaps” writeable”

That’s it. 99% percent of work is done by Arne so, thank you Arne. I hope that our projects will merge into the one in the near future.

UPDATE: Plugin is no more supported since there are many other plugins doing the same thing.

New plugin in the repository – Simple Coming soon is out

UPDATE: Mukul Hinge wrote a great how-to article which explains how to fix your site when coming soon page is still there, even after deactivating the plugin – Read how.

Great example of coming soon page - created by Marko Prljić

At first, this feature was solved by adding code into functions.php file, but today the plugin is born. Download it and have nice coming soon page (with countdown) or create the custom one. Continue reading

Creating stylesheet for Headline Replacement

Headline Replacement can be really useful, especially because we are able to choose what titles exactly we want to replace. Version 0.1.1 is out, but the plugin is still difficult to handle with.

Let’s see how to create automatic stylesheet and avoid img tags. Continue reading

Headline Replacement 0.1

Headline Replacement is a simple WP plugin that allows you uploading replacement image for post/page title. It is based on Unique Image for Article plugin originally written by Pavol Klacansky, but there are some modifications and improvements.

The fact that you must upload image and then go to Media tab to find the image in order to use it as a headline was annoying. Now it is past, upload and use! No unnecessary steps.
