If you manage a WordPress site with many posts—like ZIDOOKA!—you’ll eventually need a clean list of post titles and URLs.
Especially when working with ChatGPT, giving the AI only URLs is not enough; it needs titles + structure to understand your content properly.
However, the default WordPress XML sitemap only shows URLs and modified dates.
As in your screenshot, it looks like this:
- URL
- Last Modified Date
No titles.
No context.
No way to know which post each URL represents.
This makes the default sitemap nearly unusable for content analysis or AI training.
Why the Default Sitemap Doesn’t Work for Humans (or AI)
The built-in sitemap is created for search engines, not for people.
It lacks:
- ❌ Post titles
- ❌ Published dates (modified only)
- ❌ Any meaningful structure
- ❌ Copy-friendly formatting
So when you have dozens—or hundreds—of posts, it becomes impossible to understand what’s what.
This is exactly why the screenshot you provided looks confusing:
You can see the URLs and dates, but you can’t tell what those posts actually are.
The Solution: Export All URLs
(Title + URL + Published Date in a Single Table)
The free plugin Export All URLs solves every limitation of the default sitemap.
It lets you choose exactly what you want to extract:
- ✔ Post Title
- ✔ URL
- ✔ Published Date
- ✔ Categories
- ✔ Tags
- ✔ Author
- ✔ Modified Date
Your screenshot of the plugin settings shows the ideal configuration:
Export Fields (recommended)
- ✔ Title
- ✔ URL
- ✔ Published Date
Post Type
- Posts
Post Status
- ✔ Published
This setup outputs a complete, human-readable dataset.
A Real Example (from your screenshot)
When you click Display Here, you get a table like this:
| # | Title | URL | Published Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sample Page | https://www.zidooka.com/sample-page | 2022-11-26 19:50:33 |
| 2 | Privacy Policy | https://www.zidooka.com/privacy-policy | 2022-11-26 19:50:33 |
| 3 | How to outsource Google Apps Script work | https://www.zidooka.com/archives/6 | 2022-11-26 19:54:13 |
| … | … | … | … |
Compared to the default sitemap, this is infinitely more useful:
✔ Titles are visible
✔ URLs are mapped to actual content
✔ Published dates give chronological context
✔ Perfect structure for ChatGPT or data tools
This format is exactly what AI needs.
Why This Method Is Best for ChatGPT
When passing data to ChatGPT, the most reliable structure is:

[2022-11-29] How to fix openpyxl DeprecationWarning - https://www.zidooka.com/archives/23
...
This gives the AI:
- A clear timeline
- Clean title–URL mapping
- Better understanding of your site’s topic clusters
- Higher accuracy when generating new posts or analyzing your content
Export All URLs outputs exactly this kind of structure.
Summary
• The default WordPress sitemap is not designed for human use (no titles).
• Export All URLs gives you “Title + URL + Published Date” instantly.
• The Display Here table is perfect for both humans and ChatGPT.
• For large sites or AI workflows, this is the most efficient method available.
This workflow is now part of ZIDOOKA!’s internal toolkit because it dramatically improves content organization and AI integration.
