Magento 2 Extension — User Guide & Documentation

Magento 2.3.x / 2.4.xBy MagepowAdmin + Frontend

Vendor
Magepow Extensions

1 · Installation

Two ways to install — via Composer or by uploading the app folder. Both end with the same Magento CLI steps.

Before you begin: install the extension on a staging/test server first, and take a full backup of your files and database — especially on a live store.

System requirements

Magento 2.3.x / 2.4.x installed and working
PHP, MySQL/MariaDB and web server meeting Magento 2 system requirements
SSH access to run Magento CLI commands

Method 1 — Install via Composer (recommended)

Open a terminal in your Magento 2 root directory and require the package:
```
composer require magepow/sitemapexclusion
```
Run the Magento setup upgrade:
```
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
```

Deploy static content (production mode):

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Flush the cache:
```
php bin/magento cache:flush
```

Method 2 — Manual install (upload `app` folder)

Download the extension package and unzip it. Upload the app folder to your Magento 2 root so it merges with the existing app directory.

Run the following commands from the Magento 2 root:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:flush

Log out of the Admin panel and log back in to refresh access permissions, then clear the cache under System > Cache Management.

Tip: while configuring the store, disable full-page and additional PHP caches (Varnish, Redis, OPcache/APCu) so changes appear immediately. Re-enable them when you are done.
