    The sitemap generated is including my site header which is a custom post type. How do I make it so that this isn’t included in my generated sitemap?

    Thanks!

    Hi @mellowmarsh,

    The “premium” theme team UpSolution has registered the post type us_header in all their themes, and that templating post type shouldn’t have rewrite access — yet it does.

    Unfortunately, they disregarded the issue.

    But I digress. To quickly resolve this, add the following snippet to your (child-)theme’s functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_sitemap_exclude_cpt', function( $excluded = array() ) {

	$excluded[] = 'us_header';

	return $excluded;
}, 10 );

    I hope this helps 🙂 Cheers!

    Hi @cybr,

    Thanks for the quick response! That’s unfortunate that they haven’t fixed that issue. I added that code into my child theme functions.php file and now get this error: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /wp-content/themes/Impreza-child/functions.php on line 5
    ”
    Any idea what I did wrong?

    Thanks!

    Hi @mellowmarsh,

    My bad! I made a typo, and just fixed the code above.

    Here it is again for good measure:

    add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_sitemap_exclude_cpt', function( $excluded = array() ) {

	$excluded[] = 'us_header';

	return $excluded;
}, 10 );

    Cheers 🙂

    Hi @cybr,

    Awesome thank you! No error now but the /us_header/site-header/ is still showing up in my sitemap.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Hi @mellowmarsh,

    That’s great!

    Update any post, or change a setting back and forth in the SEO settings, and the sitemap should refresh 🙂
