## Description

This plugin will automatically generate XML site maps for your BuddyPress groups
and users. It will schedule new sitemaps to be generated once daily, and includes
a link to manually regenerate them if you need to. Two separate sitemaps will be
generated: one for your groups, and one for your members. Sitemaps are split into
separate files based on the first letter or number in the name of each group and
username. The plugin is set to default to 1,000 links per sitemap file, but you 
can increase or decrease that number. Keep in mind, if it is too high, your sitemap
files will be very large and difficult to load. Regardless of how many sitemap files
you have, you will only need to submit two links to Google.

## Installation

Installing this plugin is extremely simple.

 1. Upload the plugin files to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory, or install the
    plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Go to the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress and scroll down to ‘BP XML Sitemap Generator
    for BuddyPress by SHIFT1’ to activate the plugin
 3. Click the ‘Settings’ link, or go to SHIFT1 > XML Sitemap for BuddyPress on the 
    left nav in admin to get links to the sitemaps that you’ll need to submit to Google,
    and for any configuration options

## FAQ

  Do I need to do anything after I install the plugin?

The sitemaps will be generated automatically. However, you will need to submit them
to Google and other search engines. Instructions are on the Settings screen.

  Is the sitemap customizable?

You can customize how many links appear in each of the sitemap files. It will generate
separate files for groups and users, categorized alphabetically and is defaulted
to groups of 1000 or fewer. If you have more than 1000 groups that start with the
letter ‘a’ then it’ll make separate files for each chunk of 1000. You can change
this number as you see fit, but keep in mind that if it is too large, your files
will be hard to load. Regardless, you’ll only need to submit two URLs to Google,
shown on the Settings page for this plugin. The plugin does the rest. If we receive
some donations and positive feedback, then we may consider expanding the plugin 
further, or possibly offering a paid upgrade for greater functionality.

  Where are the sitemaps located?

You can find links to the sitemaps on the Settings screen. Generally, a new directory
will be created at /sitemap/ where all of the files are located.
