Overview

Hugo's embedded sitemap templates conform to v0.9 of the sitemap protocol.

With a monolingual project, Hugo generates a sitemap.xml file in the root of the publishDir using the [embedded sitemap template].

With a multilingual project, Hugo generates:

  • A sitemap.xml file in the root of each site (language) using the [embedded sitemap template]
  • A sitemap.xml file in the root of the publishDir using the [embedded sitemapindex template]

[embedded sitemap template]: {{% eturl sitemap %}} [embedded sitemapindex template]: {{% eturl sitemapindex %}}

Configuration

These are the default sitemap configuration values. They apply to all pages unless overridden in front matter.

{{< code-toggle config=sitemap />}}

changefreq
(string) How frequently a page is likely to change. Valid values are always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and never. With the default value of "" Hugo will omit this field from the sitemap. See details.
disable {{< new-in 0.125.0 >}}
(bool) Whether to disable page inclusion. Default is false. Set to true in front matter to exclude the page.
filename
(string) The name of the generated file. Default is sitemap.xml.
priority
(float) The priority of a page relative to any other page on the site. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. With the default value of -1 Hugo will omit this field from the sitemap. See details.

Override default values

Override the default values for a given page in front matter.

{{< code-toggle file=news.md fm=true >}} title = 'News' [sitemap] changefreq = 'weekly' disable = true priority = 0.8 {{</ code-toggle >}}

Override built-in templates

To override the built-in sitemap.xml template, create a new file in either of these locations:

  • layouts/sitemap.xml
  • layouts/_default/sitemap.xml

When ranging through the page collection, access the change frequency and priority with .Sitemap.ChangeFreq and .Sitemap.Priority respectively.

To override the built-in sitemapindex.xml template, create a new file in either of these locations:

  • layouts/sitemapindex.xml
  • layouts/_default/sitemapindex.xml

Disable sitemap generation

You may disable sitemap generation in your site configuration:

{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}} disableKinds = ['sitemap'] {{</ code-toggle >}}
