<p>Fixes some core XML Sitemap bugs:<br />
– Blog page lastmod in WP 6.5 (use last post date instead of last modified date)<br />
– 404 Response code on certain sitemaps, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51912" rel="nofollow ugc">ticket</a>.<br />
– Don’t set is_home() true, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51542" rel="nofollow ugc">ticket</a>.<br />
– Don’t execute main query, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51117" rel="nofollow ugc">ticket</a>.<br />
– Ignore stickyness in WP 6.0 and below, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55633" rel="nofollow ugc">ticket</a> (fixed in WP 6.1).</p>

– the sitemap index by 5;<br />
– each post type sitemap by 4;<br />
– each taxonomy sitemap by the number of terms in that sitemap, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55239" rel="nofollow ugc">ticket</a> (fixed in WP 6.0);<br />
