    I have a strange issue in one of the DNN-sites we are hosting.

    • In Settings > SEO > Sitemap, the URL for the sitemap is a https-variant.
    • But when i open this link (https://domain.nl/SiteMap.aspx) i only see an Empty tag
    • When i change the request to http (http://domain.nl/SiteMap.aspx) I see the correct sitemap-xml: an url-set tag with a whole bunch of ur-tags included. 

    Why are these versions different? How can i make sure that the content of the HTTP-version also displays in the HTTPS-version? And slightly less relevant: where is the http-version maintained? 

    Sincerely

      I just tested some of my sites and the https version is not empty.
      Please note that for the items to show up in the sitemap, the page's individual sitemap priority should not be 0.
      (which is the default value unfortunately in DNN 9.3.2, bug IMO)
      Also the sitemap is cached for 1 day by default so any corrections willl only appear after a day.

        Hmm... I have checked a couple of pages in the site, and they all seem to have an individual sitemap priority set to 0.5 (the default according to the the info).

        And you don't see a difference between the http and https version? 

        I've also checked another of our sites, and there the problem does not occur- But: i can't seem to access the http version: it automatically changes to the https-version. I saw one difference between sitemap-settings, namely the setting 'Minimum Priority for Pages': this was not set in the site with the issue, but is set in the other site. I have fixed this, cleared the sitemap cache, but that doesn't seem to have effect?

        What value do you have in '' and 'Minimum Priority for Pages'?
         

        sincerely, Sytske

          I have an https redirect on all my sites so I cannot compare them.
          My minimum priority = 0.1

            Well, Timo, thanks for your answers!
            I changed the setting also 0.1 (for both minimum priority and exclude lower than settings). Clear cache: and voila! it works.

            I still find it sort of strange, because the other site we have, also had these previous settings, but díd have an https sitemap.

            but oh well: it works now, so i'm happy!

              And further: i see now that the 'http'-version appears to be a very old, cached version. the new HTTPS version, is much shorter. And checking some of the pages that don't appear in the new SiteMap.aspx: there the priority is not set.

              so I agree with you opinion that this appears to be a bug.
