Premsig.com Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hey. The Sitemap link on my website has suddenly stopped working. I think it's trying to open sitemap.xml, rather than sitemap.php. Anyone know how I can fix this? Cheers Mark Prestashop version: 1.5.3.1 Shop URL: http://www.premsig.com/ Current theme in use: default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yes it opens the xml version. Have you recently changed your htaccess? it seems to be related to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Serralta Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hello, Assuming you are using PrestaShop 1.5.3.1, you can navigate under Preferences / SEO URL. From there turn this feature off, Click Save. In your front office navigate to a couple of products. Come back to your back office, turn that feature back on and save. Navigate a few products in the front office. That will regenerate your .htaccess file. Be careful, any custom changes to it might be gone... Take care.

Premsig.com Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi. Thanks for the advice, but I'm not sure what you mean by "turn this feature off". Could you be more specific? The only reference to Sitemap I see in the SEO URLs section is in the first list of pages. I tried deleting the Sitemap entry and following your instructions before recreating it, but this didn't help. Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PascalVG Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nemo suggested to regenerate htaccess. Matt tried to tell you how to do that. In this URL/SEO screen, you could toggle friendly URL off (then save) and then on (and save again) to regenerate htaccess Hope this fixes the problem. :-) My 2 cents, Pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) what does it do when you try to regenerate your sitemap? back office--modules--ganalytics blank screen? please be more specific..screen shots etc...as there appears to be some confusion (for me anyway) of what exactly your problem is. your last good sitemap.xml was built on March 1, 2013 EDITED: I am pretty dense...you are talking about your sitemap link...my post should be ignored. Time for a nap. Edited March 12, 2013 by elpatron (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premsig.com Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Lol @ elpatron. No prob. Thanks for your input, Pascal. Unfortunately, this didn't help either. You can see what happens by clicking on the Sitemap link on my homepage, www.premsig.com, but I attached a screenshot as well Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premsig.com Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I generated a Google sitemap xml file, which the Sitemap link is obviously displaying instead of the php file. Do I need to keep the xml file in my root directory, or can I move/rename it and resubmit it do Google with the new name/location? Sorry, I'm new to this Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
