<p>WordPress 5.5 includes built-in <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/22/new-xml-sitemaps-functionality-in-wordpress-5-5/" rel="nofollow ugc">sitemap functionality</a>.</p>
<p>This plugin provides a UI for some of the most common sitemap configuration settings.</p>
<p>NOTE: some plugins (like Yoast SEO) replace core sitemaps with their own version. This plugin only works with core sitemaps.</p>

SEOKEY

<p>WordPress 5.5 add core XML sitemap functionnality, but there is no user interface to disable it or to mange contents within theses files.</p>
<p>Disable WordPress XML sitemaps simply deactivate all WordPress XML sitemaps and redirect them to your home URL, preventing 404 page generation for Google and other Search Engines.</p>
<p>This SEO enhancement is already included in our <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-key/" rel="ugc"><strong>SEOKEY plugin</strong></a>. Not only do we deactivate WordPress native XML sitemaps (which are not optimized), but SEOKEY replaces them with much more powerful sitemaps (better crawl, not any harmful content).</p>
