# [Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Custom Post Types

 * I recently noticed that my custom post types that were once indexable are not
   anymore. I haven’t changed any settings and noticed this after upgrading to 0.2.5.4.
   The custom post types become indexable again after disabling the plugin.
 * Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

 * Not quite the same issue as you’re having, but I’m using the Simple URL’s plugin,
   and I set WordPress SEO to exclude the plugin’s custom post type from the XML
   sitemap. But for some reason they’re showing up in there anyway.
 * I didn’t check the XML before upgrading to 0.2.5.4, so I don’t know if this is
   a new issue with the upgrade.
 * Anyway, seems there’s some issues with custom post types.

 * I can’t reproduce this, and I use Simple URL’s as well, and use a lot of custom
   post types. Could you both tell me which version of WP, PHP and my plugin you’re
   running?

 * Joost,
 * It may have been “operator error” in my case (blush). I regenerated my sitemap,
   and this time the Simple URLs posts were not in there. The previous time I did
   it, I pinged the search engines. I’ll be updating the site in the next day or
   two, so I’ll manually rebuild the sitemap and ping, and see if the Simple URLs
   appear again. I’ll report back if they do.
