Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
You can use the following filter to exclude posts from the sitemap:
/**
* Filter decision if post type is excluded from the XML sitemap.
*
* @param bool $exclude Default false.
* @param string $type Post type name.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/exclude_post_type', function( $exclude, $type ){
return $exclude;
}, 10, 2 );
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hi, tx for your reply but,
in fact i dont want to exclude post_type but post by ID like in your admin settings : https://zupimages.net/up/19/47/zqts.png
the function you use in your plugin is :
(in \seo-by-rank-math\includes\helpers\class-post-type.php :: Line > 72)
/**
* Check if post is explicitly excluded.
*
* @param int $post_id Post ID to check.
* @return bool
*/
public static function is_post_excluded( $post_id ) {
static $posts_to_exclude;
if ( ! isset( $posts_to_exclude ) ) {
$posts_to_exclude = wp_parse_id_list( Helper::get_settings( 'sitemap.exclude_posts' ) );
$posts_to_exclude = apply_filters( 'rank_math/sitemap/posts_to_exclude', $posts_to_exclude );
}
return in_array( $post_id, $posts_to_exclude, true );
}
Your filter is :
$posts_to_exclude = apply_filters( 'rank_math/sitemap/posts_to_exclude', $posts_to_exclude );
But i dont see any hook to use this function.
What i want to do is use this function via hook to exclude a post via it’s ID. 🙂
Thanks in advance !
Hi team !
Inside “$posts_to_exclude” I’m trying to “array_push()” the id of the post i want to get reed of in the site map but unfortunatly with no success..
How can i use your existing filter to do that ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can use array_merge function to merge the post ids to existing ids added in the Settings:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/posts_to_exclude', function( $posts_to_exclude ){
$posts_ids = [ 333, 999, 111 ]; // Add the post ids you want to exclude seperated by coma.
return array_merge( $posts_to_exclude,$posts_ids );
});
I hope that helps. Thank you.
Hello Pratik !
i was sooo close, since the hook was not in the hook list in the documentation i had not find a solution until your reply, now i figure how to make it work, A great thanks !
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/posts_to_exclude', function( $posts_to_exclude ){
$login_designer_page_ID = Login_Designer()->get_login_designer_page()->ID;
$posts_ids = [ $login_designer_page_ID ]; // You can add all the post ids you want to exclude seperated by coma.
return array_merge( $posts_to_exclude,$posts_ids );
});
