Find a way around wordpress sitemap plugin limitations

I created a blog using wordpress in January.

Though, I use a custom template for one of my page to display custom dynamic pages. (exemple here)

Now, I use the wordpress plugin XML-Sitemap to automatically generate sitemaps. Unsurprisingly, this plugin does not crawl the page using a custom template, and the many links within.

However, I thought that the crawlers of the major search engines would do so. But they didn’t. My custom pages are still not indexed anywhere.

So here is my question:

Thanks a lot!!

first of all, i'm not experienced in Word Press, but I came out with two ideas about your problem, so, if they could be useful, here are:

1) I don't think the plugin crawls the template. Instead I think the plugin generates the sitemap starting from the sitemap saved in the wordpress configuration (in drupal the sitemap and url aliases are saved in the database for example, and the sitemap plugin starts from there)

2) If your plugin generates a sitemap file (I think it does!), so you have to disable it first of use an other tool

Hope it helps!
