Since WordPress 5.5, an XML sitemaps functionality is provided in the WordPress core. These sitemaps let search engine crawlers find all URLs quickly and comprehensively.
But there is not any configuration interface. This plugin provides an option page for all XML sitemaps generated by the WordPress core.
WP Sitemaps Config let you easily
<ul>
<li>disable the XML sitemaps completely with a single click</li>
<li>remove the sitemaps for all public posts, pages, categories, tags, post formats and users </li>
<li>remove the sitemaps for all public custom post types and custom taxonomies</li>
<li>add the entries Priority, Change Frequency and Last Modification Date to each URL</li>
<li>exclude single posts and pages from the XML sitemaps</li>
<li>set the priority and change frequency for each post and page manually</li>
</ul>
This plugin is ready for multi sites. It requires WordPress 5.5 or higher. To use the XML sitemaps the PHP extension SimpleXML must run on your server.

WP Sitemaps Config


As many already have written here: This is the badly missing user interface for the sitemap feature in Core.



Sometimes a custom post type or taxonomy is badly registered and has a sitemap, although there is no public facing page available or WP core is generating an author sitemap by default ...



With this plugin, you can disable those unwanted sitemaps with one simple checkbox.



Additionally, you can enable the last modification date/time which is highly recommended (because crawler now can better plan their work). There is a ticket milestoned for WordPress 6.3 which is discussing this to be part of the core sitemap.



And it seems there is a feature planned for custom additions to "priority" and "change frequency". 



This would be worth a sixth star ;)
