<p>Native Sitemap Customizer gives you complete control over the native WordPress XML sitemap (wp-sitemap.xml) introduced in WordPress 5.5, without requiring a full SEO plugin.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Exclude Post Types</strong>: Remove any custom post type from the sitemap</li>
<li><strong>Exclude Taxonomies</strong>: Control which taxonomies appear in the sitemap</li>
<li><strong>User Control</strong>: Exclude specific user roles, individual users, or disable the entire users sitemap for single-author sites</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Exclusions</strong>: Exclude posts/pages by ID or by slug patterns</li>
<li><strong>Performance</strong>: Customize the maximum number of URLs per sitemap (1-50,000)</li>
<li><strong>Conflict Detection</strong>: Warns you if SEO plugins are active or indexing is disabled</li>
<li><strong>Clean Interface</strong>: Two-column layout for easy navigation and configuration</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Sites that don’t need a full SEO plugin</li>
<li>Developers who want granular sitemap control</li>
<li>Anyone looking to optimize their WordPress native sitemap</li>
<li>Sites using headless WordPress or custom SEO solutions</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.5 or higher (when native sitemaps were introduced)</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>SimpleXML PHP extension</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>Native Sitemap Customizer works by applying filters to WordPress’s built-in sitemap functionality. It doesn’t generate its own sitemap – it simply controls what appears in the native wp-sitemap.xml that WordPress creates.</p>
<h4>Important Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>If you have an SEO plugin active (Yoast, Rank Math, etc.), you should disable their sitemap functionality to avoid conflicts</li>
<li>The plugin will warn you if search engine indexing is disabled in WordPress Reading Settings</li>
<li>Changes take effect immediately – your sitemap is dynamically generated</li>
</ul>
