WP Plugin sitemap

This plugin allows a WordPress administrator to manually trigger a crawl of their website pages and view the results on a back-end admin page. The crawler extracts all of the internal hyperlinks from the website's home page and stores the results temporarily in the database. It then displays the results on the admin page and creates a sitemap.html file that shows the results as a sitemap list structure.
