General installation notes that apply to every Toweringmedia extension are in the installation guide.
Configuration
- Stores > Configuration > Towering Media > SEO Sitemaps Plus (config section
seositemapsplus). - Groups:
general,indexnow, andexclusions. - Admin screen: Intelligence SEO Suite > Technical SEO > Sitemaps.
Basic usage and what to expect
- Set the split size and exclusion rules, then generate a sitemap and open the resulting file to confirm the URLs and counts look right.
- Submit the sitemap through Search Console, or use the Search Console connector's sitemap management screen.
- Enable IndexNow only after the sitemap output is verified.
Notes and limitations
- Because this module depends on the Google Search Console connector, installing it also pulls in that connector and Search Intelligence Core. Confirm your license covers those packages if you intended to buy Sitemaps Plus on its own.
Validation checklist
bin/magento module:statusshows the module(s) as enabled.- Extension configuration saves without errors in Admin.
- The admin screens listed above are reachable and load without error.
- Expected storefront/admin behavior is present after a cache flush.
- No critical PHP/JS errors appear in
var/log/during the primary test flow.
Troubleshooting
- Composer cannot find the package: confirm the
https://composer.toweringmedia.com/repository and your credentials are present inauth.json, and that your license covers this package. - Feature not visible: verify module status, flush cache, and redeploy static content.
- Admin setting not applying: clear cache and confirm the config scope (default / website / store view).
- Unexpected behavior: retest with only the required related modules enabled.
