hide specific pages from sitemap element

[WEswift]

My SEO company would like me to hide specific pages from my sitemap generated through the theme element: https://www.parcprovence.com/site-map/

They don’t want to see it here but I believe they don’t want Google to index these pages as well. I thought that you could deindex through Google Search Console but they said this is only temporary.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi Rui – I’m a little hesitant to use a plugin that was last updated a year ago and is untested with my version of WordPress. Is there another option you can think of?

I was talking about the suggested code, sorry for didn’t explain it better.

Please open to edit shortcodes.php at /dante/swift-framework/
Find this code:-

$page_list = wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=$depth&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0");  

Change to :-
$page_list = wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=$depth&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0&exclude=3,7");  // please change the 3 and 7 with your page ids.
