WP Sitemap Control allows you to easily manage which post types and taxonomies are included in your WordPress site’s built-in <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/22/new-xml-sitemaps-functionality-in-wordpress-5-5/" rel="nofollow ugc">sitemap</a>. By default, all public post types and taxonomies appear in the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/22/new-xml-sitemaps-functionality-in-wordpress-5-5/" rel="nofollow ugc">sitemap</a>, but with this plugin, you can include or exclude specific content types to better control your site’s SEO and indexing.
Key Features: 
– Include or exclude selected post types and taxonomies from your sitemap. 
– Exclude individual taxonomy terms from the sitemap. 
– Exclude individual entries, such as the Privacy Policy page, from the sitemap. 
– Simple configuration via the WordPress admin menu. 
– Compatible with WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 8.0+. 
– Supports translation and is open source.
This plugin is ideal for site owners who want more granular control over their sitemap and wish to prevent certain content from being indexed or archived by search engines. [Learn more about sitemaps][].
The configuration allows you to turn off individual content from the sitemap – an example is “Privacy Policy”, which we do not need to have in our sitemap, and by combining the plugin capabilities <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-seo-improvements/" rel="ugc">Simple SEO Improvements</a> we can also avoid indexing and archiving it.
