 * You can control what content types are included in the sitemap in the settings
   located in the SEO>Search Appearance area. To customize what types of pages or
   content are included in the sitemap you would need to perform the following steps:
    -  In WordPress go to SEO>Search Appearance
       Click on the appropriate tab to
      add or remove certain post types from the search results. Removing a post 
      type from the search results will also remove them from the sitemap. Click‘
      Save Changes.’
