== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What types of sitemaps can I generate? =

You can generate four main types of sitemaps:
- General content sitemaps (posts, pages, categories, etc.)
- E-commerce sitemaps for marketplace optimization
- Price comparison platform sitemaps
- Advertising platform sitemaps

= What's the difference between dynamic and static sitemaps? =

Dynamic sitemaps are generated in real-time when accessed, always showing the latest content. Static sitemaps are generated once and saved as files, which can be faster to load but need manual regeneration when content changes.

= Can I export sitemaps in different formats? =

Yes, you can export sitemaps in both XML (standard for search engines) and CSV (for data analysis) formats.

= Is the plugin mobile-friendly? =

Absolutely! The plugin uses a mobile-first responsive design with Bootstrap framework, ensuring it works perfectly on all devices.

= How do I access my generated sitemaps? =

Generated sitemaps can be accessed through:
- The "Sitemaps" submenu in the plugin admin area
- Direct URLs following the pattern: yoursite.com/[type]-[filename].xml
- The uploads directory for static sitemaps

= Does this work with multisite? =

Currently, the plugin is designed for single-site installations. Multisite support may be added in future versions.
