See your XML sitemap like never before. Exclude URLs, add non-WP pages, and filter by type or directory—all with page titles for easy visibility.

== Description ==

Take full control of your WordPress XML sitemap. Include or exclude any post, page, custom post type, taxonomy, and even external URLs—regardless of your SEO plugin setup. Perfect for advanced SEO, content curation, and large or complex sites.

**Key Features**
* Detects all custom post types (including those registered by other plugins).
* Include/exclude any post, page, CPT, or taxonomy from your sitemap.
* Add non-WordPress URLs (static HTML/PHP, legacy pages, campaign landing pages) to a dedicated sitemap.
* Visual UI with search, filter, and pagination—view by content type or directory.
* Secure, centralized license management via your 96 Monkeys account.

== Installation ==

2. Activate the plugin in **Plugins → Installed Plugins**.
3. Go to **Tools → Sitemap Manager Pro** to choose which items appear in your sitemap.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I use this with Yoast or other SEO plugins? =
Yes. Sitemap Manager Pro works with Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO. It also supports the native WordPress sitemap if no SEO plugin is installed.

= What does Sitemap Manager Pro do? =
It gives you direct control over your sitemap contents. Exclude specific posts/pages, add custom URLs that aren’t part of WordPress, and analyze your sitemap with filters (by type, by directory) and search.

= Can I add pages or URLs that aren’t part of my WordPress site? =
Absolutely. You can add any valid URL on your domain (static or dynamic) and we’ll include it in a dedicated sitemap.

= How do I exclude a post or page from the sitemap? =
Go to **Tools → Sitemap Manager Pro → Sitemap**, check the box next to any item you want to exclude, and click **Save Changes**.

Yes. Pro automatically detects the active SEO plugin and adapts. Your exclusions and custom URLs are preserved.

Yes—grab **Sitemap Manager** on WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/plugins/sitemap-manager/. The free version lets you exclude URLs from your sitemap.

No hard limit. Note: license tiers vary by sitemap size.
