I would like to make a donation how can I do this?

You can make a Pay Pal donation by clicking here, or click on “Donate to this plugin” in the right hand side box where it says FYI, your donation will be very gratefully received thank you!

What should I call the page that I add the sitemap to?

You can call it whatever you like. I would suggest you call it Site Map.

I have some pages that I need but are to be hidden and not on the sitemap

My plugin only shows posts and pages that have the status as published, so if you wish to have a post of page be published but not to be shown, change its status to "privately published" and it will disappear off the sitemap, you can do this easily when editing a post/page with the Publish box on the left hand side, I have included a screenshot to show what to set this box to. You can also exclude by ID now in the settings.

I cant get the other short code options to work

These are now depreciated and should no longer be used, only the shortcode [wp-realtime-sitemap] should be in your sitemap page now, all other options are now decided by the admin interface for the plugin and this will always be the case moving forward.

Do I need to add the `` to a Post or a Page?

This method is no longer supported, please use the shortcode [wp-realtime-sitemap] instead in a page or a post, please see the Installation tab for further help.

Is there a PHP code so I can add it to a PHP template file?

This method is no longer supported, please use the shortcode [wp-realtime-sitemap] instead in a page or a post, please see the Installation tab for further help.
