Sitemap building issues

Hi all - newbie alert!

I’ve used OctoberCMS in the past but veered off to another provider for a while. I’m trying it out again and am stuck with the new setup for building a sitemap.

I have copied the standard sitemap.yaml and sitemap.htm as per this article, but how do I create entries in the backend? It looks similar to before but now I have to add a page title and reference to the relevant page?

If this is right, when I’ve done it for a few pages, my sitemap.xml file isn’t showing anything just the standard urlset text as per the sitemap.htm code.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction as I can’t find a user guide for how to use it anywhere.

Thanks
Pete

EDIT So after comparing the demo theme sitemap.htm file to the one I created, I spotted [collection] was different. I replaced it with the demo version - [collection sitemap] and now I can see the entries on my sitemap. Phew… maybe helpful to someone to see this.

Hi and welcome @prewebdesign

I’m glad you got it solved, the demo theme does get updated with every minor release with improvements.

Thanks @daft - I have emailed hello@ too about some other questions I had re. moving forward with October.
