 * Also, it would be nice to have an option to generate the sitemap.xml on the fly
   rather than writing it into the file system. The resulting output can be easily
   cached.

 * Check out the beta version. I’m not sure about the current stable release, but
   the beta most definitely does custom post types and generates on the fly. Make
   sure to go to settings > XML-Sitemap to choose which custom post types and taxonomies
   you want included.

 * Hi, just started using this plugin. Two things:
 * 1) While I see the CPT being recognized, and I include it, it doesn’t show up
   in my sitemap.xml.
 * 2) My custom taxonomy (categories for my CPT) is not being picked up. Only custom
   taxonomy is for “Format”.
 * Furthermore, the Priorities panel doesn’t include any prioritization for CPTs.
 * Thanks!
