I have created sitemap in php form by using couchcms's code. The sitemap generated well, but after I submitted it to google, it shows "pending".

Who have submitted sitemap in php form? Is it going to pass this "pending" status?

The next question probably not related to couchcms, just an extra question:
I normally submit sitemap in xml format and it worked well. But if I submit in php form, it shows in google search result, any idea how to make google index it but not show in result page?

Hi,

I have my sitemap in php without any problems sometimes it takes a while before google checks your file.

But if I submit in php form, it shows in google search result, any idea how to make google index it but not show in result page?

Just place in your robots.txt file

Code: Select all

User-agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /couch
Sitemap: http://www.yours/sitemap.php

As far as I understand it .. google will read from your robots file the php sitemap and won't handle it as a normal file

ok. thanks. will try it later.
