Looking a Filter to exclude posts by ID from the Sitemap

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing. To exclude specific posts from the Rank Math sitemap by their IDs, you can use the following code snippet in your theme’s functions.php file:

/**
 * Filter to exclude specific post IDs from the XML sitemap.
 *
 * @param array $exclude_ids Array of post IDs to exclude.
 * @return array Modified array of post IDs to exclude.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/exclude_posts', function( $exclude_ids ) {
    // Add the IDs of the posts you want to exclude
    $exclude_ids[] = 1; // Replace 1 with the ID of the post you want to exclude
    $exclude_ids[] = 2; // Add more IDs as needed
    return $exclude_ids;
});

In this code, replace 1 and 2 with the actual IDs of the posts you wish to exclude from the sitemap. You can find the post ID in the URL when editing a post in WordPress, as shown in our documentation.

If you need further assistance or have any other questions, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you. Thank you for raising this concern!
