BWP GXS: how to exclude a page from the sitemap

    I want to exclude a certain page from being put into the sitemap. I feel very uncertain how to do this being afraid that making errors will lead to loss in Google positioning.

    I have a theme-child (Waever) where I find the file ‘function.php’. Should I add the following code to this file?

    add_filter(‘bwp_gxs_post_where’, ‘sitemap_where’, 10, 2);
    function sitemap_where( $query, $post_type ) {
    switch ( $post_type ) {
    case ‘page’ :
    return ‘ AND wposts.ID NOT IN (x,y,z) ‘;
    break;
    }
    return ”;
    }

    I should have expected an “exclude page” section in the BWP GXS-settings but did not find one. Did I miss something?

    Yes you should replace x,y,z with actual page ID that you want to exclude and it should work correctly. Currently there’s no setting in admin ??

    Yeah, sorry, I should have mentioned that (replace x,y, etc.).

    But I feel reassured, so thank you for this confirmation!

    Nevertheless…. looking forward to a new feature for this fine plugin: an ‘exclude page setting’… ??

    This ability REALLY needs to be cooked into the front end plugins settings. Setting up the ability to block and exclude pages and posts by ID is so so basically needed, and the only way to do it with your plugin is so cryptic and bulky.

    How about a simple new front end option of: “Exclude these ID’s:” and we can put in the ID’s we want to block. Simple, easy, all on the front end like everything else.

    ps – thanks Rudolph Smits, this helped me doing it somewhat easier than what is needed to be done using this plugins method of blocking IDs.
