NYCPHP Meetup

[Matt Thomas]

Hi David,

I'm not aware of anything in Joomla's core that would redirect sitemap.xml.
I use that name on a few sites and have never had any issue with Google not
funding it.

That said, Xmap works great as well as AceSEF (
http://www.joomace.net/joomla-extensions/acesef-joomla-seo-sef-urls).

Hope that helps.

Best,

Matt
