Hello,
I have found an issue with [XML Sitemap Plugin](https://github.com/communiteq/discourse-sitemap/). New topic URLs are not updating.

It looks like it updates once a day. I’m guessing because it’s assumed that that’s as often as a crawler will ask for it.

That means, I need to edit code for modifying Sitemap update time period? 🤔
Thanks for the response.

I doubt that you “need” to, but if you want it to change every minute, I suspect that if you change “24.hours” to “1.minute” it’ll update more often.
Note: I have never seen that `Rails.cache.fetch` function and am only guessing what it does.

I appreciate your kind response. However, I have decided to remove Sitemap plugin.
