| Quote: | Sitemap errors and warnings
- All the URLs in your Sitemap have the same priority.
All the URLs in your Sitemap are set to the same priority (not the default priority). Priority indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact your site's performance in search results. If all URLs have the same priority, Google can't tell which are more important.
- All the URLs in your Sitemap are marked as having dynamic content.
All the URLs in your Sitemap are marked as having dynamic content. Because dynamic content is difficult for search engines to crawl and index, this may impact your site's performance in search results. Check your Sitemap to make sure your site information is correct. |
Please help, thx |

For topic priorities, it's rather hard to define one for each topics, same for changefreq.
In phpBB stickies and announce do have a custom priority, but that's all.
I don't think though that this is a real issue, if Google cannot use the priority to distinguish between topics, it will still use the lastmod tag, same for changefreq actually. |

This must be something new. According to sitemaps.org, the default priority is 0.5. As for the change frequency, answering "always" for all threads is a bit much. To mix things up, you could return "always" for threads that have had a post in the last 24 hours, "daily" for threads which have had a post in the last 7 days, and "weekly" for the rest.
Note: In the past I have seen no evidence Google bot uses these values, but maybe these new warnings indicate a change of heart. |

For those who want Google to stop yelling, you can do the following :
replace :
| Code: | | $this->style_config = array('Sitemap_tpl' => "\n\t" . '<url>' . "\n\t\t" . '<loc>%s</loc>' . "\n\t\t" . '<lastmod>%s</lastmod>' . "\n\t\t" . '<changefreq>%s</changefreq>' . "\n\t\t" . '<priority>%s</priority>' . "\n\t" . '</url>', |
with :
| Code: | | $this->style_config = array('Sitemap_tpl' => "\n\t" . '<url>' . "\n\t\t" . '<loc>%s</loc>' . "\n\t\t" . '<lastmod>%s</lastmod>' . "\n\t" . '</url>', |
in mx_ggsitemaps/includes/ggs_functions.php.
No more priority and changefreq tags!
