Yes, this will be an minor issue as I do not fetch (i.e. read) the Post release date when doing the SELECT SQL statement to fetch the tag names.

This will be more of an annoyance as I don’t think that Google will penalise you for 404 errors – I may be wrong though!

Have a look comments 47 & 47 as they discuss how to modify the SQL statement. Feel free to modify the plugin as you so desire.

The other thing to consider is that Google will have already tried to index these ‘future tags’, so when the actual posts are released Google will already know of them, so it may help indexing times and trigger of a PageRank refresh on these tags.

Best ask the Google team on this one!

p.s. I may consider this request in a future release of the plugin. But cant commit to a release date though. And WordPress is embedding tags into version 2.3 so my plugin may need major restructuring anyway!

Thanks for this plugin.
I think there is only one little problem with future posts. Tags are appended in the sitemap but they shouldn’t as the article doesn’t exist yet.

Google Webmaster tools is reporting a lot of 404 errors for me because of “future tags”.

Sorry for my english.

It looks like you have an empty tag in UTW somewhere – i.e. a tag with no name. Try looking and removing any aliases that you don’t need.

Best seek support from Christine from the UTW plugin homepage at the top of the page as this issue is not related to my plugin.

http://myblog.domainname.com/tag/ – 404 (Not found)

What is this URL supposed to show? The complete list of the tags of my blog? I’m lost, any help is more than welcome since UTW is quit a mess to work with… Thx a lot ! :)

If you have installed and activated the Google XML Sitemaps plugin, there is a tab under the Options menu that will be called either ‘Sitemap’ or in v3.0b8+ its called ‘XML-Sitemap’.

In this tab you will see a URL link called ‘rebuild the sitemap’. When you rebuild the sitemap and all three plugins are activated (including my own) then your UTW tags will be automatically appended to your sitemap.

I have installed your tags addon plugin on my wordpress version 2.2.2. But there is no Sitemap Administration Interface appeared on the Admin – > Options. I have installed the other two plugins. Can you give me any help? Thanks in advance.

I have fixed the bug and updated the release to v2.1.

Thank you very, very much!!

You need Google Sitemap Generator for WordPress Plugin (v3.0b6 or above).

Please download the latest version of this plugin. A link is contained in the WordPress / Plugin Compatibility & Prerequisites section above.

I am getting the following message after pushing in the button “Rebuild sitemap”..

Fatal error: Undefined class name ‘googlesitemapgenerator’ in /home/zoekecc1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/utw/UTWgoogleSitemaps2_0b.php on line 78

What am I doing wrong, or better, what can I do to overcome this?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

This plugin uses the new Google Sitemap API which was embedded into v3.0 and above.

What should I do?

I am using WP 2.2.1.

I wasn’t sure if I needed to modify UTW php files still since 2.2 doesn’t use Tagging. Please help!

I do not have any test blogs to test this on. If this code works, then I will update the plugin in the next release. Thanks in advance if your up for the job!
