sitemap does not update

[sharonyue]

Hi guys,

Why my website's sitemap does not update itself? In 22th April, I have 200url. Now it is still 200 url. But it should increase, I have some new threads, but the sitemap just ignore them? I click clear sitemap cache, the url's number does not change either.

How are you getting this number? Google does not crawl the sitemap daily.

@julian

Hey Julian,

I got this from here:

From April, this URL had always been 241. Actually I have some new threads, but the new threads do not show up in the sitemap.

I am using nodebb too.
https://rockq.org/sitemap/topics.1.xml

the sitemap hasn't been updated for a long time. So, is there any trigger ?

[phit]

working fine here on 1.0.4

might be related to the non roman letters?

Hi phit,

I can not open your link, this does not mean there is something wrong with your server, I guess its because of my net connection.

Well, your sitemap can update everyday? automatically?

huh, you made me recheck it appears it only gets updated when i restart nodebb, which i do quite frequently when playing around with customizations so I did not notice it
so yeah, this sounds like a bug, I opened an issue on github https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/4624

phit created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB

closed Sitemap only updates on restart #4624

@phit

um, thanks for your bug report. I will keep an eye on it.
I will try to restart nodebb in the early morning tmr and see.

Hi, @phit

Yes, restart nodebb update it...That bug is fixed. Well, how can I update my nodebb?

It says im using the latest nodebb 1.0.3.

[phit]

@sharonyue 1.0.3 is the latest stable, you could update to master or weeky but I would not recommend that in production
if you chose switch to unstable, run the following commands in your nodebb directory

./nodebb stop
git fetch
git checkout master
git merge origin/master
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start

the better option in my opinion for this specific case is patching it in manually by editing the file yourself until this fix has been pushed with the next release
to do that edit this file yournodebbdirectory/src/sitemap.js and replace the content with this
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/f5e928409cd6c33e4353ce41cd24a22bf4f0142d/src/sitemap.js

Hi @phit

Thanks very much. I will update it manually.
