SEO → Sitemaps controls the XML sitemap, which helps search engines find your content.
- Your sitemap is at
/sitemap_index.xml(also/sitemap.xml). WordPress’s own/wp-sitemap.xmlredirects there. Each content type has its own file, such as/post-sitemap.xml. - Submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. It can also be listed in robots.txt automatically.
- Choose which content types, taxonomies and author archives to include, and exclude individual posts or terms by ID. Content set to noindex is left out automatically.
- Images in your content are included by default.
- Optional Google News and video sitemaps.
- Lower URLs per sitemap if large sitemaps time out on your server.
