Sitemap plugin.

Description

This plugin provides sitemap xml. Sitemaps below are available.

2. Get sitemap URLs and register them at Google Search Console.

Besides setting on admin screen, some hooks are also available.

Newws Sitemap

By default, news sitemap consists of the posts under specified post type(e.g. post). If you need some condition(e.g. only posts under a category, excluding some tags), use filter hook below:

/**
 * Filter hook for WP_Query arguments for news sitemap.
 *
 * @param array $query_args Which passed to WP_Query
 * @return array
 */
add_filter( 'hms_news_sitemap_query_args', function( $query_args ) {
	// 1. Includes only posts under category "news"
	// 2. Exclude posts with tag "sponsored"
	$query_args['tax_query'] = [
		[
			[
				'taxonomy' => 'category',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => 'news',
			],
			[
				'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => 'sponsored',
				'operator' => 'NOT IN',
			],
		],
	];
} );
