Ticket #51233, comment 2
initial v1 1 Right, I understand that the location is in the robots.txt file but we still receive many requests for `/sitemap.xml` even with our robots.txt specifying a different filename. Even with prefixing the filename there are still conflicts with existing SEO plugins or tools that use the `sitemap` query_var.1 Right, I understand that the location is in the robots.txt file but we still receive many requests for `/sitemap.xml` even with our robots.txt specifying a different filename. In regards to backward compatibility, even with prefixing the filename there are still conflicts with existing SEO plugins or tools that use the `sitemap` query_var. 2 2 3 3 Prefixing the query_var makes sense as it is more programmatic than pretty links. What I am proposing is that we keep the core sitemap as `/sitemap.xml` and use another method of being backward compatible. I am looking into some possibilities but even something that checks if the `^sitemap\.xml$` rewrite rule exists may allow it to be backwards compatible.
