Sitemap Generator Forum

Hello,
i have had this problem before and you were able to fix it but it seems to be back again. i always get two homepages in each sitemap i create. i have read simmilar posts here and tried to include a backslash and /index.html to my homepage's url but they did not work. could you please help me? my website is [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
thank you!

Hello,

you can try to exclude index.html with robots.txt file:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /index.html

thak you it works now. can i leave "Disallow: /index.html" command in my robots.txt permanently or should i only use it when i am building a sitemap? i am using a redirect through my .htaccess file to avoid having two homepages. please let me know whether to use it permanently. thanks

Hello,

yes, you can leave it since "index.html" just duplicates your main domain root homepage.
