- Exclude Taxonomies: Control which taxonomies appear in the sitemap
- User Control: Exclude specific user roles, individual users, or disable the entire users sitemap for single-author sites
- Flexible Exclusions: Exclude posts/pages by ID or by slug patterns
- SEO Plugin Integration: Auto-exclude noindex content from Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework
- Smart Redirects: Automatically redirect old sitemap URLs from SEO plugins to native WordPress sitemap (301)
- Performance: Customize the maximum number of URLs per sitemap (1-50,000)
- Conflict Detection: Warns you if SEO plugins are active or indexing is disabled
- Clean Interface: Two-column layout for easy navigation and configuration
Perfect For
- Sites that don’t need a full SEO plugin
- Developers who want granular sitemap control
- Anyone looking to optimize their WordPress native sitemap
- Sites using headless WordPress or custom SEO solutions
Requirements
- WordPress 5.5 or higher (when native sitemaps were introduced)
- PHP 7.4 or higher
How It Works
Native Sitemap Customizer works by applying filters to WordPress’s built-in sitemap functionality. It doesn’t generate its own sitemap – it simply controls what appears in the native wp-sitemap.xml that WordPress creates.
Important Notes
- If you have an SEO plugin active (Yoast, Rank Math, etc.), you should disable their sitemap functionality to avoid conflicts
- The plugin will warn you if search engine indexing is disabled in WordPress Reading Settings
- Changes take effect immediately – your sitemap is dynamically generated

عمومی سوالات
-
Does this plugin create its own sitemap?
-
No. This plugin manages the native WordPress sitemap (wp-sitemap.xml) that WordPress generates automatically since version 5.5.
-
Will this conflict with my SEO plugin?
-
Old sitemap URLs from SEO plugins (like sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, post-sitemap.xml, etc.) are automatically redirected to the native WordPress sitemap using 301 permanent redirects. This ensures search engines update their indexes and you don’t lose any SEO value during the migration. However, we strongly recommend disabling the sitemap functionality in your SEO plugin to avoid unnecessary code execution, database queries, and potential redirect loops if the SEO plugin tries to redirect the native sitemap to its own.
-
What about content marked as noindex in my SEO plugin?
-
The plugin can automatically detect and exclude posts and taxonomy terms marked as noindex by popular SEO plugins (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework). This feature is enabled by default in Advanced Settings and ensures your sitemap only includes content you actually want indexed by search engines.
-
Where is my sitemap located?
-
Your sitemap is available at:
https://yourdomain.com/wp-sitemap.xml -
Can I change the sitemap URL?
-
No, WordPress uses a fixed URL structure for its native sitemap. This is intentional to maintain compatibility and standards.
-
How do I submit my sitemap to search engines?
-
Submit your sitemap manually to Google Search Console (https://search.google.com/search-console) and Bing Webmaster Tools (https://www.bing.com/webmasters). Automatic ping services are no longer supported by major search engines as of 2023.
-
Why are my changes not appearing?
-
WordPress may cache the sitemap. Try clearing your cache plugin (if any) and test in an incognito browser window. Changes take effect immediately in the WordPress core.
-
Can I exclude specific posts?
-
Yes! You can exclude posts by ID (enter one ID per line) or by slug patterns (any post containing that text in its slug will be excluded).
-
Can I exclude specific taxonomy terms?
-
Yes! You can exclude taxonomy terms by ID (enter one ID per line) or by slug patterns (any taxonomy term containing that text in its slug will be excluded).
-
What’s the recommended maximum URLs setting?
-
The default of 1,000 URLs per sitemap is recommended for most sites. Lower values can improve performance on large sites. The maximum allowed by the sitemap protocol is 50,000.
