Highlights

This release brings major new features, including multilingual support, an admin bar integration, WP-CLI commands, and a smarter cache that auto-regenerates on invalidation.

New Features

  • Multilingual support for Polylang, WPML, and TranslatePress — all translated URLs are automatically included in the sitemap.
  • Admin bar integration with flame icon, live URL count, and quick actions: Open Sitemap, Copy URL, and Clear Cache.
  • WP-CLI commands: wp xml-cache status and wp xml-cache flush for managing the sitemap from the command line.
  • Site Health debug info section showing sitemap URL, cache status, and all settings.
  • Auto-regeneration: the sitemap automatically rebuilds whenever the cache is cleared — it's never empty.
  • Cache statistics displayed on the admin settings page with URL count and cache status.
  • 5 new URL types: categories, tags, archives, custom post types, and attachments — each toggleable in settings.
  • Per-request throttling to prevent redundant cache invalidations.
  • Cache invalidation on activation/deactivation to keep the sitemap in sync.

Improvements

  • Responsive admin UI using container queries, pill-style stats badge, and unified button styling.
  • Snackbar notifications fixed to the bottom-right corner.
  • Removed Symfony DI — all services are now wired manually for a lighter footprint.
  • Sitemap caching with no expiration via WordPress transients; includes lastmod timestamps.
  • Meta box registered for all public post types (including attachments).

Maintenance

  • Updated all npm dependencies to latest versions.
  • Fixed all PHPCS violations and added direct file access protection to all PHP files.
  • Added .distignore to exclude dev files from production builds.
  • Simplified GitHub workflows using 10up deploy actions.
  • Bumped minimum WordPress version to 6.4.
  • Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
