i have a sitemap page that has categories that do not pertain to my site (not a blog site) and they bring up pages saying "bikers on daytona beach"? they are unsitely and confusing can i get rid of them?
by month
by category
available rss feeds
blog posts

would want to keep the pages category only for search engines, thank you
First of all, you need to find out what is creating your site map.

XML sitemap I think. The person who set up my site for me installed that plug in and also yoast wordpress SEO. Basically he has told me leave the site map page there saying it helps the search engines and that is fine but trying to figure out why this page comes up when clicking on any other links than "by Page"

HI,
Your sitemap file for search engines is here https://www.chromehorserentals.com/sitemap.xml and it looks like you are using the "google sitemap generator" plugin for that. The sitemap page might also be create by that plugin or the yoast plugin. Do you see the site-map page within your wordpress page editor? If so perhaps you can un-publish it there. You might also try disabling the SEO plugins one at a time to see which is creating the page or check options for each plugin, sorry I don't know them well enough to give exact directions there.
Since you are not using blog posts you should click the posts section in your admin and un-publish that post from 9/2011 as it is getting picked up by the SEO plugins is my guess.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Chad

I did go to Posts in dashboard and there was a post called Bikers on Daytona Beach. Have no idea how that got there, anyway I just deleted it and it is now gone from my sitemap page, thank you.
to my understanding the plugin WordPress SEO by Yoast is what I use to type in my keywords, titles, descriptions, etc. for the pages of my website for site optimization and this helps the search engines list my site.
I haven't looked into what the Google Site Generator is yet, thank you your simple solution took care of the 1st problem.
