Hi GS community,
Firstly, excuse any typos or bad grammar as its well past bed time . Have just discovered something that doesnt appear correct w/ the sitemap.xml generation.
If you are running your GS installation from somewhere other than the root dir of your site and perhaps using some .htaccess tricks to hide this, you might also in the Settings page have defined a WebsiteURL that goes against the URL GS suggests (which you must do)
Problem appears to be that when generating a sitemap.xml, all the URL's within the <loc> tags are ignorant of the WebsiteURL configured in the Settings page. (which is of coz not desirable for submitting to google etc)
Chris or someone, can you confirm im not just too tired? If this is actually a problem can it be officially fixed by someone on the team as i sure its a very minor patch? Alternatively, if it is a change needed and noone has the time investigate, im happy to make the changes and commit them... where/how to do?
Cheers all,
Zig
