Getting Started

Introduction of Sitemap Manager:

The Sitemap Manager feature in SEO Repair Kit allows you to control what content appears in your WordPress core XML sitemap.

By default, WordPress automatically includes all public post types and taxonomies in the sitemap. However, many websites contain unnecessary content such as:

• Elementor templates
• Internal post types
• Plugin-generated content
• Unused taxonomies

These can clutter your sitemap and negatively impact SEO.

With Sitemap Manager, you can select exactly what should be included, ensuring a clean, optimized sitemap for search engines.

Why Sitemap Control Matters:

A well-optimized sitemap helps:

• Improve search engine crawling efficiency
• Prevent indexing of unnecessary or low-value pages
• Focus SEO on important content (posts, pages, products, etc.)
• Maintain a clean and professional site structure

Follow these steps to start using Sitemap Manager:

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard
2. Navigate to:
   SEO Repair Kit → Sitemap Control
3. You will see:
   • Enable toggle
   • Post types selection
   • Taxonomies selection
