Deleting some pages in sitemap

    I have a sitemap for my website but approximately half the entries have been generated by the Theme I used to create the website, and don’t as I see it add any value to the site map. I have have two questions:
    1. How do I delete the unwanted pages, in my example everything with a 2019 date?
    2. If I do delete will The SEO Framework re-generate them?

    Hello!

    I recommend deleting the example pages via WordPress; disregarding the sitemap, they aren’t even of any value to your site. Alternatively, you can apply ‘noindex’ to them via the visibility-SEO settings of the page. You can access this setting via the edit-screen of the page. You can also use quick-edit via the posts/pages overview screen.

    As for the elementor_library entries… this is a bug in Elementor their developers are apparently too stoic and lazy to ever fix — even after I notified them, even after getting about 18,000 mentions. It seems they don’t care about their users. Nevertheless, to resolve this, you must go to the SEO Settings page, and at the “General Settings,” under “Exclusions,” you must tick the entry for elementor_library.

    Once you delete/noindex/exclude those pages, they’ll automatically get removed from the sitemap. TSF will then notify search engines of sitemap changes (when the option for this isn’t disabled).
