I did a test increasing cronjob to every 5 min but the sitemap didn't update the listing.xml even if there was a new listings.
Why doesn't the listings.xml get updated on cronrun? Isn't this why we also use sitemaps, to tell google bots that new listings have been added?
What decides when the listings.xml are updated?
Shouldn't that be updated like every time a new listing is added to the site or removed so the spiders know where to look.
Anyone have any comment on this one? :)
I'm having the same issue. Still have to update it manually...Quote:

- via cron jobs. If your crontab configured properly that cron file will check XML file: it will create it if files missing; it will updated if last date of modifying files more then 24hours
- via frontend: if files is missing and get a request your-domain.com/sitemap.xml the plugin will create it. It wouldn't update files if they are exist already.
If your cron doesn't update old files, that maybe it have a errors.
You can check it manually:
- rename file /cron/.htaccess to backup.htaccess for example
- run cron script via browser your-domain.com/cron/index.php
If it return empty content that cron works properly and doesn't have errors.
I changed name on htaccess, run the script and it was a blank page.
Went to files/sitemap and the only file that was updated was sitemap.xml
not the sitemap_account1.xml, sitemap_categories1.xml, sitemap_listings1.xml and sitemap_pages1.xml

But it should update every time the cron is running. If new listing are added or removed from site it should change the listings.xml every time the cron is running to keep the content up to date. Not updating every 24hours.Quote:

the sitemap.xml shows this: <lastmod>2022-02-22T12:39:01+00:00</lastmod> for all the sitemaps but this is wrong as the sitemap files aren't updated with new and removed listings
If you'd like to update xml files every time the cron is running, then
go to sitemap plugin folder/rlSitemap.class.php
Find:Change to:Code:Only registered members can view the code.
Code:Only registered members can view the code.
With your change it doesn't seem to work at all.Quote:

Thanks for your help <3
I get following error on my dashboard
Please check the cron configuration; it hasn’t been run since May 16, 2022.
How may I change the configuration of cron
Hello,
You need to follow the instructions on your hosting (on the cron page) where you can see an example of the cron command and path to your script
or create a ticket to check this issue
Hi Rudi,
I can see settings on Admin Panel, as well as cPanel. All looks ok.
Cron does not run still.
I have not changed anything since last CRON run
Do I need to add anything to cPanel?
Probably, the problem is in the cron code which may cause a MySQL error. It's necessary to debug it
You can enable the debug mode in config.inc.php file > RL_DEBUG > true
then in cron directory rename .htaccess file to t.htaccess and open cron file in your browser: https://your_domain/cron/index.php
it should display the error if it exists
