eaks on them.

int of having XML sitemaps.

ame reason.

ved. No one in his right mind would want to do that, and if you do, then adding

ettings. This also allows you to save XML Sitemap settings again.
* Sitemaps now contains all the last updated posts (under 1,000)
of one post type in one new XML sitemap, so SE only has to crawl one sitemap pe
