Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

I noticed some gotchas worth pointing out regarding the custom sitemap:

  • Unexpectedly outputs items with sitemap: false in them, such as the search page.
  • Outputs 404.html, which most individuals will not want indexed.
  • Does not adapt to collections automatically, and manual updates can easily be forgotten.

The custom sitemap.xml file indicates jekyll-sitemap does not allow custom priority or changefreq, which seems moot given the two items were removed as documented in the jekyll-sitemap CHANGELOG.

As a result, we should consider removing the custom sitemap and working towards standard gem usage. Meanwhile, those wanting a workaround can remove the custom sitemap.xml and sitemap_custom.xml files, install the jekyll-sitemap gem and refactor affected content files.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks, boss. I don’t have your eye for design but I can get us to the 10 yard line. PRs to follow.
