How It Works
After activation, the plugin provides two dedicated endpoints:
Archive:
/toolxon-archive/
Dedicated XML sitemap:
/toolxon-sitemap.xml
The archive groups published content chronologically by month and year.
The XML sitemap provides URLs for the content types selected in the plugin settings.
WordPress core sitemaps remain available and are not disabled or replaced.
Archive Shortcode
Use the following shortcode to display the chronological archive on any post or page:
[txsma_archive]
The shortcode displays published content grouped by year and month according to the plugin settings.
Settings
Go to:
WordPress Admin Toolxon Sitemap Archive
Available settings include:
- Content sources
- Taxonomy selection
- Maximum sitemap URLs
- Items per archive month
- Excluded post IDs
Only supported public content types are used for sitemap generation.
Sitemap URL
The plugin generates its own dedicated sitemap:
/toolxon-sitemap.xml
Example:
https://example.com/toolxon-sitemap.xml
The plugin does not replace the WordPress core sitemap index.
Archive URL
The chronological archive is available at:
/toolxon-archive/
Example:
https://example.com/toolxon-archive/
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or later
- PHP 7.4 or later
- Pretty permalinks enabled for the best experience
Privacy

The plugin stores only its own configuration settings in the WordPress database.
Security
The plugin follows WordPress security practices including capability checks, input sanitization, validation, and output escaping.
The plugin uses WordPress APIs and does not bundle third-party JavaScript libraries unnecessarily.
