XML not referencing to my website

Hi,

This problem has been there for a couple of years: if you export a website to HTML, then the URLs in the website.xml reference to https:// [website_name].brizy.site/[page_name].

It is so easy to solve this with just one setting.

Because of the extra work every time you export I haven't used Brizy Cloud for a long time.

So please prioritize this instead of all that extra AI fluf!

Kind regards,

Hans

  Hello Hans,

  You are right; pages with the domain you want to host are not hyperlinked in the sitemap that comes with the Export HTML ZIP file. You must use a text editor like Notepad in Microsoft Windows or TextEdit in macOS and use the "Replace" option to replace https://website.brizy.site/ with https://domain.com/ You have an additional 1 minutes effort when using this publishing option.

   

  In Brizy Cloud dashboard, you have access to another publishing option called "Server Sync". The sitemap gets generated according to the domain name you publish the website if you use this option to deploy your website. Have a look at https://support.brizy.io/hc/en-us/articles/360027008491-Server-Sync for the procedure.

  You can publish 3 custom domain websites using you plan. If you have not used up all the 3 PRO licenses, you have this option as well.

  Hi K C George,
  
  I understand that it can be replaced but my point is that is something that people are complaining about for a long time already. Including me. Last time about a year and half ago. Then it was acknowledged and promised to be implemented soon. 
  
  The thing is that is is so easy for you guys to solve this .... Just 1 extra setting in the dashboard and when exporting check this setting and if checked and filled with a valid domain, rewrite the sitemap.xml. In my opinion this can be done in max. 2 hours and possibly under 1 hour ....
  
  Manual replacement is not only frustrating work but also introduces a new point of failure.
  
  This was my last try to get this solved. So about this you won't hear me again. But please do not send me all that information about new features. I don't need new features, I just want the current ones to work reliable and flawless.
  
  To end positive: for the rest Brizy is a great tool!
  
  Kind regards, 
  
  Hans
