XML Site Maps – User Sitemap Tab

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

The second tab of the XML site Map settings of your search SEO contains the user site map settings, the user site map can contain all the users on your site or just the authors on your website or you can’t have it at all if you don’t want to have it, by default it is disabled because we don’t want to make the mistake of showing your user side map when you really want to hide your user names. It is usually quite smart though to enable it and in that case you’re left with a couple of choices, by default we exclude people who have zero post on your site.

0:50 for instance your site is running body press or BB press people might not have post at all but they only might have forum post or other things in which case they wouldn’t show up in your XML site Map in that case you might want to set this to insight map. You can also filter by the specific roles that you have on your site. Now in allot of cases it might not make sense to include administrators for instance if you are smart guy and you are not posting with your administrator account then you van just leave out all the administrators from the XML site map and no one will ever see what their user names are from the XML side map it’s still rather easy to gust those so it’s not something that you should really fuss about. So and you can choose these part of a specific user roles, and then save your changes and you are done.
