Aimy Sitemap's crawl-website.php
script is obsolete as it does not support Joomla! 6.
However, Aimy Sitemap CLI does provide the same functionality
with its crawl-website
command.
Here's a step-by-step list on how to make the switch easily:
- Download the current version of Aimy Sitemap CLI (free of charge)
- Install & enable the downloaded Aimy Sitemap CLI plugin
- Check the settings you made in the "Periodic Crawl" tab of Aimy Sitemap's options and note the equivalent option for Aimy Sitemap CLI's
crawl-website
:Aimy Sitemap's crawl-website.php
Aimy Sitemap CLI's crawl-website
"Write Sitemap" → "Yes" --write-sitemap
"Notify Search Engines" → "Yes" --notify-indexnow
- Update your periodic crawling command to use the Joomla! CLI instead of the obsolete
crawl-website.php
script, passaimysitemap:crawl-website
as a command along with the options you determined before, i.e.:--write-sitemap
(see example below) - Remember to check whether your periodic crawls work as expected afterwards
