Frequently Asked Questions

Will this include PDFs uploaded through forms?

The plugin only scans folders with numeric names, so it won't add files that have been uploaded through forms.

Does this plugin cache its output?

Yes, the plugin scans the uploads folder once per day and saves that data to a transient. When you upload a new PDF file that cache is cleared automatically.

Does this plugin work on multisite?

This plugin has not been tested on multisite.

Does this plugin have filters?

Yes, it does. It has the following filters:

Filter	Description
JoostBlog\WP\pdf-sitemap\filetypes	Allows filtering which filetypes we're adding to the XML sitemap. Just pdf by default.
JoostBlog\WP\pdf-sitemap\cache_time	Allows filtering how long the plugin caches the scanned PDFs for. Value needs to be in seconds. Defaults to one day. Note: setting to 0 will mean cache indefinitely, not disable it.
JoostBlog\WP\pdf-sitemap\pdfs	Allows filtering the PDFs being output.
