Simple XML Sitemap Management for WordPress

When working on SEO for your WordPress site, you’ve probably run into situations like: “I don’t want this page in the sitemap” or “I want to noindex all posts in this category at once.” That’s exactly what PochiCheck XML Sitemap is built for.

What is PochiCheck XML Sitemap?

PochiCheck XML Sitemap is a WordPress plugin that automatically generates your sitemap.xml and lets you manage index / noindex settings for each post — all from the admin dashboard.

It has no external library dependencies and loads zero JS or CSS on the frontend, so it won’t slow down your site.

Features

✅ Automatic Sitemap Generation

Automatically generates your sitemap.xml. You can choose which content types to include — posts, pages, custom post types, and more — right from the settings screen.

✅ One-Click Index / Noindex Control

From the post list in your admin dashboard, just check or uncheck a checkbox to toggle any post between included (index) and excluded (noindex) in the sitemap. No need to open each post individually.

✅ Bulk Noindex by Taxonomy Term

Select a category, tag, or any other term to mark all posts assigned to it as noindex in one go. Perfect for when you want to exclude an entire category at once.

✅ Post Editor Integration

You can also manage index / noindex settings directly from the post editor. Configure your sitemap settings while you write — no switching screens.

✅ Archive Page Management

Control whether category, tag, and other archive pages are included in the sitemap, managed individually.

✅ Auto Noindex Rules

Set up conditions in advance to automatically apply noindex to matching posts when they’re published or updated. No more manual cleanup after the fact.

✅ robots.txt Integration Check

From the admin dashboard, you can verify whether your sitemap URL is correctly listed in robots.txt. If it’s missing, you can copy the exact line to add with a single click.

✅ Automatic Sitemap Splitting

No worries on large sites. When your content exceeds 1,000 entries, the plugin automatically splits the sitemap into multiple files. Every page gets submitted to Google’s crawler without putting excessive load on the server.

✅ Built-in Caching for Fast Delivery

Sitemap caching is handled via the WP Transient API. Once cached, your sitemap is served instantly without hitting the database on every request — keeping server load low and performance high.

✅ Conflict Detection

On activation, the plugin automatically checks for conflicts with other SEO or sitemap plugins and alerts you if one is found. Duplicate sitemap generation issues are caught before they cause problems.

Who Is This For?

• Users who want a lightweight, focused sitemap plugin
• Sites with a large number of posts where noindex management has become a hassle
• Developers or site owners who need custom post type support in their sitemap
• Anyone who wants SEO management without sacrificing site speed
• Those who want to handle post editing and sitemap settings in one place
• Users who want to verify their robots.txt configuration from a single screen

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0 or higher
• PHP 8.0 or higher

Easy to Get Started

After installation, just open Settings > Pochi SiteMap in your admin dashboard, select the content types you want to include, and your sitemap.xml is ready to go. No complicated setup required.

Give it a try if you’re looking for straightforward, reliable sitemap management.

A security plugin that protects your WordPress login screen from unauthorized access and spam with up to 4 layers of defense.

⚠️ This plugin is designed to eliminate spam and unauthorized access to your login screen as much as possible. Please also take additional security measures, such as optimizing your server settings and keeping WordPress up to date.

🔒 Login Flow

🔗 Custom Login URL

Change your default WordPress login URL (/wp-login.php) to a custom URL of your choice. Including / in the URL creates a pseudo multi-level path, making brute-force access even harder.

📖 Login Story Question

Log in by answering a randomly generated scenario-based question. By combining private words you register yourself (such as family names or pet names), the plugin automatically generates original questions that no third party could guess.

Example question:

Taro was eating a hamburger in the bedroom. A dog came in. Q: Who came into the bedroom?

Since the answer is always contained within the question itself, you’ll never face the problem of “forgetting the answer” like with traditional security questions.

✉️ One-Time Password

A 6-digit one-time password is sent to your email each time you log in. Enter the code to proceed to the next step.

What to do if the email doesn’t arrive →

✅ Whitelist

Register an IP address or trusted device to skip the 2nd and 3rd gates.

🎨 Login Screen Customization

Change the banner image, text color, and background color to create a fully original login screen design.

📋 Contact Form 7 Integration

Integrates with Contact Form 7 to add a story-based CAPTCHA to your forms. By registering custom words that match your site’s theme, it works as an effective anti-spam measure.

Example question (sushi restaurant site):

The head chef was eating inari in the kitchen. An apprentice came in. Q: Who came into the kitchen?

Example question (hair salon site):

An assistant was holding hair dye in front of the mirror. A first-time customer came in. Q: What was the assistant holding?

Example question (cram school site):

Instructor A was eating instant noodles in the classroom. Instructor B came in. Q: What was Instructor A eating in the classroom?

SMTP Sending Settings

Use this setting if OTP authentication emails are not being delivered. WordPress’s default email sending function (wp_mail) may be filtered as spam or fail to deliver entirely, depending on your server configuration. By using an external SMTP server such as Gmail, you can ensure reliable email delivery.

Step 1: Send a test email first

Enter your recipient email address and click the “Send Test Email (wp_mail)” button.

If the email arrives, no SMTP configuration is needed. You’re all set!

If the email does not arrive, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Open the SMTP settings

Click the “Did Not Receive It?” button to reveal the SMTP sending settings.

Step 3: Choose your SMTP server

Click the “?” icon next to the SMTP Server field to see a list of popular services. Simply click a service to automatically fill in the server name and connection method.

If your service is not listed, enter your SMTP details manually.

For Xserver and Sakura Internet users: The SMTP server field will be auto-filled with a placeholder containing “serverID”. Replace “serverID” with your actual server ID, which can be found in your hosting control panel.

Step 4: Enter your username and password

Enter the email address you want to send from in the Username (Email Address) field. This can be the same address as your recipient email.

How you enter the Password depends on your email service.

For Gmail (App Password required)

Gmail does not allow your regular account password to be used for SMTP. You will need to generate a dedicated App Password.

1. Click the “?” icon next to the Password field
2. Follow the link to Google Account → Security
3. Enable “2-Step Verification” if you haven’t already
4. Open “App Passwords”, enter any name you like (e.g. “Site Name OTP”), and click Create
5. Copy the 16-character password shown and paste it into the Password field

⚠️ Your App Password is only shown once at the time of creation. Copy it immediately.

For Xserver, Sakura Internet, or Lolipop!

Log in to your hosting control panel, find your email account settings, and enter the password for that email address.

Step 5: Enable, save, then send a test email

Once all fields are filled in, check the “Enable” checkbox at the bottom of the SMTP settings.

Then click “Save Changes” to save your configuration. SMTP only becomes active after saving. If you run a test before saving, the email will be sent via wp_mail (the default method) instead — so be sure to save first.

Once saved, the “Send Test Email (SMTP)” button will be ready to use. Click it and if the email arrives, you’re all done!

If the email does not arrive, double-check your entries (server name, username, and password). For Gmail, make sure your App Password was copied correctly.
