APG Google Image Sitemap Feed

Changelog

3.0.0

• Replaced the notifications to Google and Bing, whose endpoints no longer exist, with IndexNow.
• The sitemap now announces itself in robots.txt and in the WordPress sitemap index, which is how Google discovers it since the ping endpoint was retired.
• The sitemap now includes the featured image, the product gallery images and the ones embedded in the content, not only the images attached to the entry.
• Only images belonging to public post types are published, each entry with its lastmod.
• Fixed the XML namespace and the generation date, which stopped Google from reading the sitemap.
• Sitemap URLs no longer go through a redirect, and paginated ones that do not exist return a 404.
• Each entry appears once with all of its images together, and the sitemap splits every 50,000 entries instead of every 1,000 images.
• Images in the trash and images of password-protected entries no longer show up in the sitemap.
• Dashboard notice when an SEO plugin already publishes an image sitemap and this one becomes redundant.
• The sitemap refreshes when an image is uploaded, edited or deleted, and its cache is no longer cleared on every editor autosave.
• The site address no longer comes from the visitor’s request header, which can be spoofed.
• Every output is escaped and several PHP notices are gone.
• Brought the code in line with the current wordpress.org review requirements: license header, WordPress API queries instead of raw SQL, and prefixed classes and constants.
• Compatibility updated up to WordPress 7.2.
