Beskrivelse
Native Sitemap Customizer gives you complete control over the native WordPress XML sitemap (wp-sitemap.xml) introduced in WordPress 5.5, without requiring a full SEO plugin.
Features
- Exclude Post Types: Remove any custom post type from the sitemap
- 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
- 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
- SimpleXML PHP extension
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

Ofte stilte spørsmål
-
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?
-
If your SEO plugin generates its own sitemap, there may be a conflict. The plugin will detect popular SEO plugins and warn you. We recommend disabling the sitemap feature in your SEO plugin.
-
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.
