# Include only selected posts

 * Almost of the posts are syndications from other sources. Therefore, I do not 
   want them indexed. Unchecking posts removes them from the sitemap. I want to 
   include a few posts because they are original content. I tried adding the urls
   to “Additional Pages” which included those as externals. Fine, but when I go 
   back to settings they are gone. If I never again change settings this will work,
   but if I do I need to re-add those urls to “additional pages”.
 * Does anyone know how to only show selected posts in the sitemap other than this
   method?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finclude-only-selected-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I was wrong, the “additional pages” do show up when I go to settings. I still
   hope there is a better way.

 * Hello [@danatrich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danatrich/) – thanks for
   reaching out to us. Yes as of now we are providing a way to exclude the posts/
   pages/categories etc because usually the items to be excluded are limited. But
   in your case, your requirements are opposite of that. Unfortunately as of now
   we do not support that mechanism. Could you please brief me why you’re looking
   for this kind of mechanism? I’ll brainstorm about it with the team and get back
   to you. Thanks.
