## აღწერა

Native Sitemap Customizer gives you complete control over the native WordPress XML
sitemap (wp-sitemap.xml) introduced in WordPress 5.5, without requiring a full SEO
plugin.

#### Features

 * **Lastmod Dates**: Adds last modification dates to every URL in the sitemap and
   to every entry in the sitemap index (Google’s most used optional field)
 * **Exclude Post Types**: Remove any custom post type from the sitemap
 * **Exclude Taxonomies**: Control which taxonomies appear in the sitemap
 * **User Control**: Exclude specific user roles, individual users, or disable the
   entire users sitemap for single-author sites
 * **Flexible Exclusions**: Exclude posts/pages by ID or by slug patterns
 * **SEO Plugin Integration**: Auto-exclude noindex content from Yoast, Rank Math,
   AIOSEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, NoIndexer, Slim SEO, SureRank
 * **Smart Redirects**: Automatically redirect old sitemap URLs from SEO and sitemap
   plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, Google XML Sitemaps, XML Sitemap&
   Google News, Dynamic XML Sitemaps Generator for Google, Sitemap by BestWebSoft,
   Jetpack) to the native WordPress sitemap (301)
 * **Performance**: Customize the maximum number of URLs per sitemap (1-50,000)
 * **Conflict Detection**: Warns you if SEO plugins are active or indexing is disabled
 * **Clean Interface**: Two-column layout for easy navigation and configuration
 * **Clean Uninstall**: All plugin data is removed from the database when the plugin
   is deleted

#### Perfect For

 * Sites that don’t need a full SEO plugin
 * Developers who want full control over every sitemap detail
 * Anyone looking to optimize their WordPress native sitemap
 * Sites using headless WordPress or custom SEO solutions

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 5.5 or higher (when native sitemaps were introduced)
 * PHP 7.4 or higher

#### How It Works

Native Sitemap Customizer works by applying filters to WordPress’s built-in sitemap
functionality. It doesn’t generate its own sitemap – it simply controls what appears
in the native wp-sitemap.xml that WordPress creates.

#### Do you really need a full SEO plugin?

Most WordPress sites don’t need a 100-feature SEO plugin just to manage a sitemap
or set noindex rules. WordPress already generates a native sitemap and a robots.
txt file — the two core pieces search engines need to crawl your site properly.

Native Sitemap Customizer handles the sitemap side: decide what content appears 
in your XML sitemap. For noindex control, [NoIndexer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/noindexer/)
lets you mark entire post types or individual posts as noindex without any bloat.
Together with the robots.txt that WordPress generates automatically, you have everything
essential for technical SEO — no bloat, no unused features, no performance overhead.

#### Important Notes

 * If you have an SEO plugin active (Yoast, Rank Math, etc.), you should disable
   their sitemap functionality to avoid conflicts
 * The plugin will warn you if search engine indexing is disabled in WordPress Reading
   Settings
 * Changes take effect immediately – your sitemap is dynamically generated

#### Complements the AyudaWP ecosystem

Designed to work alongside the rest of the Native SEO Suite and other AyudaWP plugins:

   automatic title, meta description, Open Graph, Twitter Card and JSON-LD schema.

 * [VigIA](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vigia/) — AI visibility, crawler analytics,
   Site Identity JSON-LD.

## დაყენება

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/native-sitemap-customizer/` or

 3. Go to Settings > Sitemap to configure your sitemap options
 4. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools

## ხდკ

### Does this plugin create its own sitemap?

No. This plugin manages the native WordPress sitemap (wp-sitemap.xml) that WordPress
generates automatically since version 5.5.

### What are lastmod dates and why do they matter?

Lastmod dates tell search engines when a URL was last modified. Google has explicitly
stated this is the only optional sitemap field they actively use to prioritize crawling.
WordPress core supports this field but doesn’t populate it by default – our plugin
fills that gap.

### Will this conflict with my SEO plugin?

Old sitemap URLs from SEO plugins (like sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, post-sitemap.
xml, etc.) are automatically redirected to the native WordPress sitemap using 301
permanent redirects. This ensures search engines update their indexes and you don’t
lose any SEO value during the migration. However, we strongly recommend disabling
the sitemap functionality in your SEO plugin to avoid unnecessary code execution,
database queries, and potential redirect loops if the SEO plugin tries to redirect
the native sitemap to its own.

### What about content marked as noindex in my SEO plugin?

The plugin can automatically detect and exclude posts and taxonomy terms marked 
as noindex by popular SEO plugins (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress,
The SEO Framework, Slim SEO, SureRank) and by [NoIndexer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/noindexer/).
This feature is enabled by default in Advanced Settings and ensures your sitemap
only includes content you actually want indexed by search engines.

### Where is my sitemap located?

Your sitemap is available at: `https://yourdomain.com/wp-sitemap.xml`

### Can I change the sitemap URL?

No, WordPress uses a fixed URL structure for its native sitemap. This is intentional
to maintain compatibility and standards.

### How do I submit my sitemap to search engines?

Submit your sitemap manually to Google Search Console (https://search.google.com/
search-console) and Bing Webmaster Tools (https://www.bing.com/webmasters). Automatic
ping services are no longer supported by major search engines as of 2023.

### Why are my changes not appearing?

WordPress may cache the sitemap. Try clearing your cache plugin (if any) and test
in an incognito browser window. Changes take effect immediately in the WordPress
core.

### Can I exclude specific posts?

Yes! You can exclude posts by ID (enter one ID per line) or by slug patterns (any
post containing that text in its slug will be excluded).

### Can I exclude specific taxonomy terms?

Yes! You can exclude taxonomy terms by ID (enter one ID per line) or by slug patterns(
any taxonomy term containing that text in its slug will be excluded).

### What’s the recommended maximum URLs setting?

The default of 1,000 URLs per sitemap is recommended for most sites. Lower values
can improve performance on large sites. The maximum allowed by the sitemap protocol
is 50,000.

### What happens when I delete the plugin?

All plugin settings and data are completely removed from your database. Your WordPress
native sitemap will continue to work with default settings.

Es un plugin lo he instalado después de que el mapa de RankMath no dejar a de darme
problemas en una web en concreto. Y, ahora, ya tengo muy claro que voy a aprovechar
el mapa de WP. Y, en lugar de crear un mapa del sitio extra, se integra a la perfección
con la funcionalidad nativa de WordPress (wp-sitemap.xml). Además su diseño garantiza
que el plugin sea extremadamente liviano y está perfectamente optimizado, ya que
aprovecha los recursos que WordPress ya tiene incorporados, logrando una funcionalidad
avanzada sin añadir peso innecesario. La experiencia de uso es inmejorable gracias
a su sencillez, ofreciendo una interfaz intuitiva que permite un control granular
y preciso sobre el mapa del sitio en cuestión de minutos.¡Que me ha encantado! ¿

## ცვლილებები

#### 1.8.1

 * Improved: the “Native SEO Suite detected” card now shows the up-to-date plugin
   names for the family (Native SEO Meta Tags, Native SEO NoIndexer) and a unified`
   dashicons-embed-generic` icon for the three suite plugins. The card text is now
   fully translatable.

#### 1.8.0

 * New: renamed to **Native SEO Sitemap Customizer** as part of the Native SEO Suite(
   with Native SEO Meta Tags and Native SEO NoIndexer). Same plugin, same settings,
   same WordPress.org slug — only the display name changes.
 * New: shared **Native SEO Core** library bundled with the plugin. Adds a cross-
   promo banner with other AyudaWP plugins and a “Native SEO Suite detected” card
   on the settings page when another family plugin is active, with quick links between
   them.
 * Improved: unified visual identity across the Native SEO Suite — settings menu
   label shortened to `<> Sitemap`, settings page icon set to `dashicons-embed-generic`,
   plus shared CSS tokens (brand colors, accent backgrounds) bundled in the core
   library.
 * Improved: in-page detection notices (Search Engine Visibility disabled, SEO plugin
   detected) restyled as discreet contextual cards instead of full-width yellow/
   red banners.
 * Improved: cross-promo banner now automatically excludes other Native SEO Suite
   plugins from rotation when they are already active, so you only see recommendations
   for things you do not already have installed.
