You have added image support in sitemap.xml in the case of using WPBakery? I have 0 instead of the number on most gallery pages.
And also WPBakery is integrated into many different themes, such as Salient. Is their support planned? (the menu looks different today)
Hey Georgii, our integration is meant for WPBakery’s editor. We’re still looking into adding support for WPBakery to our image sitemap and it’s high up on our list. Regarding Salient (and other themes), we currently do not have plans to directly integrate with these but we can create a Feature Request for it.
