Disable elementor_library-sitemap.xml?

Resolved blindpet

I use yoast and noticed Elementor creates a sitemap elementor_library-sitemap.xml that Yoast is including. Since my library is essentially duplicates of my existing pages this is something I very much would like to disable for SEO.

How can this be done?

Hi @blindpet,
You can simply set it to not be included in your sitemap:

Excellent, that has worked a treat. I am not sure the purpose of this sitemap, won’t the library pretty much always cause duplicate content that Google won’t like since the templates in the library are very likely to be pages or posts?

Is there some use case for it that I am overlooking?

In the Yoast SEO > Titles & Metas > you can set this post type as a “no index” then Google will not think it’s a duplicate content:

Thanks ArielK, I did noindex it as well. I am just curious what the use case is for this and why it isn’t disabled by default and noindexed?

No, there is no need to do that. Template Library pages blocked to users who are not connected to the dashboard. So Google or other visitors cannot enter at all.

We prefer to keep this forum just for the regular support, so for the feature request or improvements GitHub it’s better.
