The XML sitemap that comes bundled with your SiteFarm site includes the default content types we offer and dynamically adds content you create based on those page types. However, if you create your own custom content types, you'll need to let your site know to look for them in your site's configuration so they can be included when the sitemap.xml file is built and displayed, which aids in site navigation, accessibility, and SEO results and rankings.
Add your custom content type to your sitemap
- Navigate to Manage » Configuration » Search and Metadata section » Simple XML Sitemap.
- Directly under the Simple XML Sitemap title, change the tab focus from Sitemaps to Inclusion.
- Under the Entity Type title, look for Content and click its Configure button.
- On the Configure Content entity type page, locate your content type in the list and click on its tab.
