Setting home page priority not working

[dvanrooy]

I'm trying to set my home page priority to 1.0 but it comes out to be the default priority.  All other pages priorities come out as I assigned them   Per the 2006 discussion (https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/forum/index.php/topic,415.msg1687.html), this should work.  I have in the settings

...
tax,,monthly,0.8
www.domain.com//$,,weekly,1.0

and the last line of the specification is for the home page.  I also tried
www.domain.com//$,,weekly,1.0
and
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]/$,,weekly,1.0
All give the same default priority to my home page.  How to fix this?

Hello,

please try to remove trailing slash:

Code Select Expand


http://www.domain.com/$,,weekly,1.0

Same thing.  I'll pm you with my complete settings of that area and access to my sitemap configuration.  Let me know if you have suggestions or need anything else.  Thanks, Dave

Hello,

I've changed

Code Select Expand

http://www.domain.org$,,weekly,1.0
to

Code Select Expand

http://www.domain.org/$,,weekly,1.0

and it works now.
