* Hi! Very useful plugin!
Today I did find backlink from my site to Yoast pages
from XML map. I am did look it in the plugin code and find in xml-sitemap-xsl.
php
* ```
Generated by Yoast SEO, this is an XML Sitemap, meant for consumption by search engines.
You can find more information about XML sitemaps on sitemaps.org.
```
* I think it’s a big bloat and unprofessional trick. Can u add function for cut
this bloat to your plugin? Thank u!

* Hi Kosiak, glad to hear that you like the plugin.
* The issue you describe is where the text is added to the actual sitemap.xml page
and is used as an explanation of what the sitemap does.
* With our plugin we are actually targeting the bloat that the Yoast SEO adds to**
your WP Dashboard**.
* Thanks for your understanding.

* This is active SEO backlink. Its not explanation. This is unwanted selfpromotion.
Without variants to hide it in the Premium version too.

* Whether or not it is an explanation, it is showing on the frontend and with the
SO Hide SEO Bloat plugin we are focusing on the bloat in the WordPress backend.
* If you want you can open a [feature request](https://github.com/senlin/so-clean-up-wp-seo/issues)
on Github, where I actually support the plugin, and if that generates enough
interest, we can think about adding it as a new feature.
* In the meantime you can switch off the XML sitemap generator and use a different
one or write your own plugin to turn off the backlink 🙂

* Please see [this](https://github.com/senlin/so-clean-up-wp-seo/issues/32). If
I’m even going to contemplate to add it, I will need to receive input on how
to do it, because as far as I can see it is not even possible.
