# Function to exclude sitemap-user.xml?

 * 3.20.0 added `sitemap-user.xml`, which I see as a security concern for small 
   sites. Your [sitemap doc](https://docs.wpslimseo.com/slim-seo/xml-sitemap/) hasn’t
   reflected this change yet.
 * What can we add in `functions.php` to exclude this one, like we can for CPTs 
   and custom taxes?

 * Hi [@spacedragon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacedragon/) ,
 * Based on the user feedback, we decide to disable the user sitemap by default.
   Please update the plugin and re-save the permalink.
 * The docs is also updated with filter to enable it again.
