 * Hello. Thank you for your work.
 * Is it possible to remove some categories from the sitemap?

 * Hi, thank you for reaching out.
 * Currently, the plugin generates the News Sitemap automatically and does not support
   excluding specific categories. All eligible posts published within the last 48
   hours are included by default, as required for Google News sitemaps.
 * Category-level control is not available at the moment, but we may consider adding
   this feature in a future update based on user demand.
 * Thank you for your suggestion and for using the plugin.
