    Hi there, I tried building my first sitemap with wordpress just recently and i'm not sure if I did it right.. I used the first plugin and said it was succussful but I didn't see a sitemap link in the nav menu.. I then tried a few other plugins and still didn't show the site map. Is the sitemap just in the background and the link on the nav is not needed? not sure about this any help is appreciated thanks.

    Yes - if you used the google-xml-sitemap plugin it does not create a page and will not show up on a navigation menu.... you should be able to see it at http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

    Did you Install the plugin correctly ? If you have installed it, then you should be able to see the /sitemap.xml
