Disable WordPress XML sitemaps simply deactivate all WordPress XML sitemaps and redirect them to your home URL, preventing 404 page generation for Google and other Search Engines. This SEO enhancement is already included in our [**SEOKEY plugin**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-key/). Not only do we deactivate WordPress native XML sitemaps (which are not optimized), but SEOKEY replaces them with much more powerful sitemaps (better crawl, not any harmful content). More information here about it : [Core XML Sitemap Guide](https://www.seomix.fr/wordpress-xml-sitemaps/)( French) ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1.

Yes, it does redirect all sitemap URL to homepage URL (301 redirect). It prevents bad 404 for Google and other search engines. ### Can I redirect to another URL ? Yes, you can use a filter for that : ``` apply_filters( 'seomix_core_sitemaps_redirect_target', $home, $current_url ); ``` $home is the default redirect URL $current_url is the current 404 sitemap URL being processed Exemple usage : ``` add_filter( 'seomix_core_sitemaps_redirect_target', 'seomix_function' ); function seomix_function( $home, $current_url ) { return "https://shiny-new-url.fr"; } ``` ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SX Disable WordPress XML sitemaps” is open source software.
