Recently its author decided that he was not going to continue with the project and many users raised their hands to their heads, although this does not end the operation of xmap in installations that are already using it, it is good to keep in mind that this extension will not receive any more updatesneither maintenance (improvements) nor security (to patch vulnerabilities that are discovered).

At this point we can choose to use OSMapof which , or give a chance to mapX (Xmap reloaded)an extension developed by , which in this article we explain how to use after the jump!

Did you already use Xmap?

Well, without problems, you just have to install mapX and continue working, because this component is capable of interpreting your current sitemap and that it continues working and that the plugins continue to be compatible.

Do not uninstall Xmap or Xmap 2 to use mapX since it replaces your current installation of Xmap by changing the old update information for the new ones.

To the point, how to install it?

1. Make a backup from your website.
2. Download the extension from the author’s website.
3. From the Extensions Managerupload and install the extension.
4. go to Components and locate mapX.
5. Access the component and create a sitemap from New

Do you want to see it?

Watch this video that we have prepared for you of a Joomla 3.4 installation that has Xmap installed and a sitemap already generated, where we install mapX and we verify its operation.

Whatever you use, always use a sitemap on your website so that search engines better index your content.
