Detail

bbPress is a large part of many WordPress / WPMU / BuddyPress sites – and yet it’s sometimes overlooked as a poor relation.

But we protest, we think bbPress rocks out and needs a bit more love and attention – it’s an amazing tool not only to power your forums, but also to garnish a multitude of search engine visits.

So, this plugin helps to leverage the content production qualities of bbPress and bring a little SEO to the mix.

Simply upload the plugin into /my-plugins/ and add sitemap.xml to your root bbPress directory (CHMOD 755 it – if you need help with this please just drop by the forums and we’ll assist) and your sitemap will be automatically generated with each new post and submitted to Google.

And we eat our own dogfood around here too – check out the plugin in action in the WPMU DEV Forums sitemap – a 100% valid sitemap.

Enjoy!
