    Wordpress 5.5 has sitemaps.

    How do I use it?

    This plugin has disabled it but I can’t seem to re-enable it.

    @superpoincare Thanks for asking this question.

    You’ve deliberately disabled the sitemaps in your SEO plugin, saying you don’t want a sitemap. You’ve probably got a very good reason for doing so.

    Now you updated your WordPress version. Wouldn’t it be weird if we suddenly allowed WordPress to silently enable sitemaps on your site anyway?

    We want you to have the best sitemap experience, so if you want sitemaps, you’ll get the best: Yoast SEO sitemaps. And if you don’t want sitemaps, we make that happen for you.

    Does that answer your question?

    @superpoincare Yoast automatically disables the WordPress sitemap feature to prevent multiple sitemaps from being generated on the site.

    Thank you for your answers.

    But Yoast has a setting to disable the plugin sitemap.

    If I do that, how do I enable the WP sitemap?

    Hi @superpoincare ,

    As of Yoast SEO 14.5, we automatically turn off the default XML sitemap in WordPress and make sure that ours runs flawlessly. So, as long as you are running Yoast SEO, we want you to have the best sitemap experience. As previously mentioned by Taco, if you want sitemaps, you’ll get the best: Yoast SEO sitemaps. And if you don’t want sitemaps, we make that happen for you.

    To know more about the difference between the core XML sitemap in WordPress and the one in Yoast SEO, you may check this article: https://yoast.com/help/faq-xml-sitemaps-wordpress-yoast-seo/.

    Hi yoast guys. one of my page that was 3th in SERP, suddenly eliminate and when i check my search console for reindexing, say to me :

    my page :here

    It can appear in Google Search results (if not subject to a manual action or removal request). However, some issues prevent it from being eligible for all enhancements.

    and coverage say :
    Page indexed without content

    i check my source and there is not “no index tag or nofollow”. is this related to yoast site map? i check my site map and there is my url in post lis

    Hi @maysammech,

    Please create a new forum topic if you need support so we can keep things separate. Thank you.
