Very cool, but when I click Update Options (step #27) it updates the MAIN site’s options, not the sub site.
Is this b/c I’m not using subdomains? My sites are set up like: http://domain.com/site-id-2
Any ideas?
Richard Palace on June 30, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Hi illway,
The steps above are for WordPress Mu using subdomain.,
Does your main sitemap work using the custom setting?
When you go to user dashboard, what is the automatic detection detected path and url?
illway on July 1, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Thanks for the response!
1) Main sitemap works using the custom setting ‘absolute or relative path’ wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/sitemap.xml … but it does not work at domain.com/sitemap.xml
2) User dashboard, automatic detection is set at:
Detected Path: /home/domain/webapps/wpmu/sitemap.xml
Detected URL: http://domain.com/hioctanevintage/sitemap.xml
Richard Palace on July 1, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I just found out that in step 3, you have to go to the second $return res;
If you updated it before the first $return res; please remove and update it before the second $return res;
Richard Palace on July 2, 2008 at 12:50 am
I have also updated my other WordPress MU at http://blogfreez.com to prove that it works.
Main sitemap:http://blogfreez.com/sitemap.xml
user sitemap:http://test.blogfreez.com/sitemap.xml
When upload and overwrite a file, make sure the file is transferred. If not sure, upload and overwrite again.
With that, I can move http://newsfreez.com to be powered by pligg.

Herm… made the changes, but it’s still not working for me. I’m going to have our developer look at it, and I’ll let you know what he finds out. Thx!

If there’s a solution for sub-directories instead of sub domains, I’d be glad to hear about it…
When I want to update the xml-sitemap options on my customers’ blogs, I get redirected to domain.com/wp-admin/… instead of domain.com/user/wp-admin/… and the changes don’t take effect…
Richard Palace on July 4, 2008 at 1:38 am
Hi illway & BlackMB,
I do have a subdir WordPress MU and i will work on it and let you know.

Hey, thanks for the great guide and step-by-step instructions. I’m using it on my community, and it’s working just as though it were designed for Wordpress MU.
Dolby on July 17, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Also using the subdir WordPress MU setup - will add this comment to be notified of any news. TIA
alfredn on August 2, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Very nice solution however im one of the minority that have my subdmains running as domains, so adding db entries is a painful task and terribly innefficient. I just wanted to mention that to the guys looking for a solution if you’re running a tld-based install of wpmu.
Thanks

Help! I’m stuck at step 21.
I changed the Absolute or relative path to /home/ipunye/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/sitemap.xml
and Complete URL to the sitemap file to
http://shop.ipunye.com/sites/sitemap.xml
Auto Detection is showing:
Detected Path: /home/ipunyec/public_html/sites/sitemap.xml
Detected URL: http://shop.ipunye.com/sites/sitemap.xml
After updating options, I clicked on http://shop.ipunye.com/sites/sitemap.xml but got ‘404 — File not found.’ error. What did I miss?
Tqsm!
Richard Palace on August 25, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Hi sandg,
Steps before 21 is for main domain sitemap.
Your main domain should be http://ipunye.com
Please follow the steps closely.
Tweaking Google Sitemap Generator plugin for Wordpress MU on September 7, 2008 at 11:29 am
[...] easier. However, the plugin requires modification to run on Wordpress MU. I’ve referred to RichardPalace.com’s guide on how to do so, but it requires changes to the core Wordpress MU [...]

Your post on Google Sitemap plugin for Wordpress MU has been very helpful in my implementation of the plugin on my Wordpress MU installation. I’ve come up with an updated article which reduces the amount of tweaking that has to be done on the main Wordpress MU installation itself here.

I am getting an error…can someone help me?
Warning: Division by zero in /home/funcity/public_html/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-core.php on line 957
this is the error on the subdomains
Burton Kent - Acupuncture Marketing Dude on October 3, 2008 at 8:13 am
Hey Richard,
Thanks very much for this. I was looking all over for a plugin that works with WPMU. I had a problem with it though, and am not sure if it’s because of the WPMU features or not.
If the message on the Sitemap Settings page always shows the sitemap was never built, simply change the line with:
$exists = get_option(”sm_status”);
if($exists === false) add_option(”sm_status”,”",”Status”,”no”);
to
$exists = get_option(”sm_status”);
if($exists === false) add_option(”sm_status”,”",”Status”,”yes”);
It may have something to do with Wordpress’s caching, I really don’t know. Hope this helps someone else.

I get the same error as gsxtasy
Can someone pls help?
Thanks Ceez
ulagam.net on October 19, 2008 at 2:18 pm
hi ceez/gsxtasy,
i too got similar error. but got fixed. its because of the quote that u will copy from this page. it will be like
—
{$res .= ‘wp-content/blogs.dir/’ . $blog_id . ‘/files/’;}
–
instead of
—
{$res .= ‘wp-content/blogs.dir/’ . $blog_id . ‘/files/’;}
–
the different in ‘ and ‘ tends to give you division by zero. the author of this blog has not encoded this coding with code tag

Thank you very much.
It works for me.
Don’t forget to change
{$res .= ‘wp-content/blogs.dir/’ . $blog_id . ‘/files/’;}
to
{$res .= “wp-content/blogs.dir/”. $blog_id . “/files/”;}
> single quote to double quote.
