 * Hiya,
 * Tried this plugin, but instantly ran in to a problem. I have some draft posts
   which are not ready to be published but they are listed in the sitemap as [http://<url>/?p=4565](http://<url>/?p=4565)
 * This is not a good thing to have. Can you update to only list those that are 
   Published? Apart from that, a good little plugin. Had to deactivate plugin until
   I know how to prevent draft/private pages being listed.
 * Regards,

 * Hi I’m already on it 🙂
 * With the next update all drafts, private pages and password protected ones will
   be excluded. Check back in a couple days and it should be released!

 * That is great! Thanks for the swift response. Looking forward to the update.
 * Now I also seen the post telling you about this before mine so apologies for 
   double posting 🙂
