I am currently using Yoast (SEO plugin) which creates a sitemap for your website/blog. Should I use Yoast for my sitemap or should I use the Google XML Sitemaps plugin?

Is there a way to get my sitemap to show in the footer of my site if the theme I'm using only allows 1 menu? I'd like to make my sitemap visible on my website but can't figure out how to do it.

Also, will it hurt me if I have 2 sitemap plugins activated on Wordpress? Does this confuse Google when it's crawling my site?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no need to have two plugins that do the same: both Yoast SEO and G. XML do the same - create an XML sitemap of your site for the search engines.

    Normally, XML sitemaps are NOT for humans to be linked to be stared at... they are for machines
    However, this one (Yoast) has even that feature: to be displayed. Find where it is, and then make a link to it.

    Thanks for the feedback. It's appreciated. Do you think I should have a link to my sitemap in my footer or don't worry about it?
