I use the XML Sitemaps WordPress plugin to publish my site map to the four core search engines.
I was updating some of the settings of the plug-in, in particular, updating the priority it gave to updating sections of my website:
I went to manually recreate my sitemap so it would update the sitemap XML file.
Once it rebuilt, I noticed that the priorities were not updated. I did it again. And again.
I was baffled for a moment. Then I decided to post something. Upon a real post (XML Sitemaps will auto generate), the sitemap was generated AND the priorities were UPDATED.
Not sure if this is a bug or not. So if you have problems getting your XML Sitemap to update it’s settings, do a real post!
