    Hello, thank you for creating this awesome plugin!

    Currently Im having an issue, Im not really knowledgable with SEO and need your advice on this. My plugin version is All in One SEO Pack 2.3.11.4 and using WordPress 4.6.1.

    Im not sure why when I create a sitemap.xml file there’s an external link being generated with it. The eternal link is a Google form link. How can I exclude this link from sitemap?

    Can also know how does the link being generated in sitemap and how to remove it? Does this link/external link have any effect on SEO?

    Your help is much appreciated.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    It would be really helpful if you would provide more information. For instance, what is the origin of that URL? What is its relationship to your website? How did you add it to your site?
    If you step back and think about it, I’m pretty sure you’ll see that we can’t possibly know why that URL is in your sitemap based on the information you’ve provided, as we didn’t add that URL to your website.
    When we have to ask you for more information that you should have included in your original post, you’re taking up our time unnecessarily when asking for free help for a free plugin.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for the reply.
    I managed to figured out the issue that I have.
    It was because I’m using Page Links To plugin and I didn’t check on SEO settings on the page to exclude the page from sitemap.

    What a silly mistake.
    Anyways, all is good now.
    Thanks!
