Overview

The "Extends the WordPress Sitemaps XML" plugin is designed to enhance the default WordPress sitemaps XML features by integrating essential elements such as article modification times, alternate language URLs, image and video sitemaps, news sitemaps, and more. It supports the inclusion of localized pages for different languages using PolyLang and WMPL, and allows for images and video content (with video details requiring the WPSSO Core Premium plugin). Additionally, the plugin ensures that often-missed post type archives, like WooCommerce shop pages and The Events Calendar event pages, are included in the sitemaps. Users can also selectively include or exclude specific post types and taxonomies, and exclude noindex and redirected URLs to improve their site's XML sitemaps. Note that this plugin is an add-on for the WPSSO Core plugin, which provides comprehensive structured data for optimized presentation of content across social media and search results.
