<h4>2.0.3 changed default post types used from only ‘post’ and ‘page’ to ALL public post types except “attachment”. This is a cleaner approach, but may require customization. There is more info on customization below.</h4>
<p>This site doesn’t notify of new support threads, so send a <a href="http://jcow.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">contact</a> through our form to notify of a new thread for a quicker response.</p>
<p>Simple way to automatically generate XML Sitemaps when a page or post is saved. Very simple, no cruft or extra features you won’t use. There are two main customizations available.</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose which post types are added (posts and pages by default)</li>
<li>Adds a meta box to all included post types to remove single posts from being added to the sitemap</li>
</ul>
<p>It also works well with our <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sewn-in-simple-seo/" rel="ugc">Sewn In Simple SEO</a> plugin. When both are installed, they integrate together.</p>
<h4>Control what post types are added</h4>
<pre><code>/**
 * Completely replace the post types in the XML sitemap
 *
 * This will replace the default completely. Returns: array('news','event')
 *
 * The result is to remove 'post' and 'page' post types and to add 'news' and 
 * 'event' post types
 *
 * @param   array   $post_types List of post types to be added to the XML Sitemap
 * @return  array   $post_types Modified list of post types
 */
add_filter( 'sewn/seo/post_types', 'custom_seo_post_types' );
function custom_seo_post_types( $post_types )
{
    $post_types = array('news','event');
    return $post_types;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Remove a specific post from the sitemap</h4>
<p>A checkbox is added to each post type that is included in the sitemap. Checking it will remove that specific item from the sitemap.</p>
<p>This checkbox also removes posts from wp_list_pages, you can turn that off using this filter:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'sewn/sitemap/wp_list_pages', '__return_false' );



/**
 * This filter arrived in 2.0.3
 *
 * Remove specific posts programatically. This could go into functions.php or a plugin.
 *
 * This example removes all posts that have post meta field of "test" set.
 */
add_filter( 'sewn/sitemap/post', 'custom_remove_test_posts', 10, 2 );
function custom_remove_test_posts( $value, $post )
{
    $status = get_metadata( 'post', $post->ID, 'test', true );
    if ( $status ) {
        $value = false;
    }
    return $value;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Change frequency for a post type, could also be used an a single post basis by checking the the $post-ID or $post->post_name</h4>
<pre><code>/**
 * Change sitemap frequency in XML, default is "monthly"
 *
 * options: always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never
 */
add_filter( 'sewn/sitemap/frequency', 'custom_sitemap_frequency', 10, 2 );
function custom_sitemap_frequency( $frequency, $post )
{
    if ( 'news' == get_post_type($post) ) {
        $frequency = 'daily';
    }
    return $frequency;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<p>Works with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sewn-in-simple-seo/" rel="ugc">Sewn In Simple SEO</a> plugin. When installed, the XML sitemap checkbox integrates with the SEO fields and this plugin will use the SEO post types. The goal is to keep things very simple and integrated.</p>

Sitemap by click5

This does everything we want, including customization of the page layout, columns, omissions, exclusions, etc.  I can honestly say this is our new go-to for an .html sitemap... I'm knocking off a star only because we have to change the silly permalink and remove /click5_
