    Hadn't noticed it yet but you're right. Both are missing.

    Though not directly related to missing sitemaps it may be useful to share my experience.

    I recently created a fairly large website (Songs of the Inland Waterways - https://www.waterwaysongs.info/index.htm ) in sections with a number of XDP+ files generating htm files which reside in both the root and many sub-directories. Some time ago I realised that the sitemap(s) that were generated by Xara covered only small sections of the site and weren't very useful. Assuming this to be a consequence of the way I was creating the site I subscribed to the PRO Sitemap Service https://pro-sitemaps.com/cp/ which was reasonably priced and has given me a lot of useful info about broken links, etc., as well as updating my sitemap efficiently on a daily basis. I can recommend it - though there are alternatives, some of which may be free.

    @LGF & Boy, you are including your Website URL in the Other webhost settings Dialog?
    My XDPX is v18.0 so I cannot confirm against v18.5.

    6.If you want a sitemap generated for your website, you need to enter the full URL of your published website in the Website URL field. For the sitemap, a file called sitemap.XML is automatically generated. This is a list of the pages on your website, and helps search engines find and list all the pages in your site. If no URL is specified here when you publish your website, no sitemap is created

    Actually, all is good here (v. 18.5). I made a dumb mistake by checking the locally published folder. Thanks for waking me up, Acorn. :-)

    @LGF, all gone quiet. Sorted? Or not?
