This wasn’t immediately apparent to me but you can change your index template type to a setting other than HTML.

Perfect for creating XML sitemaps or each section for your site and combining them in a sitemap index.

  1. Create a new template group called xml_sitemaps
  2. Select the new xml_sitemaps group
  3. Click preferences
  4. Change the index template type to xml
  5. Click update

Now you have a sitemap index you can create sub templates for each section of your site (blog, events, news, tips etc)

On advice from Kenny Meyers: You can easily create xml sitempas using my SEO extension LG Better Meta
