    We’re getting a lot of ?filter_ in our sitemap index. How can this be removed as a URL? It’s taking up crawler’s time/resources (i.e. Google, Bing) for something that doesn’t need to be indexed. Google keeps putting it as Crawled – currently not indexed. Realistically, filter urls for PRODUCTS don’t need to be indexed.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please refer to this filter code to exclude filter URLs in your website:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/entry', function( $url, $type, $object ){
	if( strpos( $url['loc'], '?filter')){
		return false;
	}	
	return $url;
}, 10, 3 );

    The code needs to be inserted into your theme’s functions.php file.

    Let us know if it works on your end.

    Looking forward to helping you.
