    Is there a way I can remove a specific URL from my sitemap, I have a URL that’s showing on the sitemap that’s not a page and links to nothing, it would redirect to the homepage and I want to remove it completely from the sitemap how can I proceed to do this?

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us!

    Could you please share the URL which you want to remove?

    In the meantime, please flush the Permalinks, save the sitemap settings, and see if that fixes the issue. To do this, please see this screencast: https://www.loom.com/share/2f96d9b8f7e640feb9e1b86ba2a67e68

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks!

    Hi, thank you I already tried the suggestion you gave but to no avail, it was not being removed, my issue is that a URL is being displayed in the sitemap for a post type and I am sure it’s displaying the post type itself since the post with that slug which in this case is ‘article’ doesn’t exist and it’s being displayed I still want to show the ‘article’ post type posts on sitemap I just want to remove that specific URL which is ‘mysite.com/article’

    I’ve also replicated this issue on your sitemap. In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
