    Hi,

    I wish to restrict the access of sitemap from public, yet wish to keep it available for the search engines only, i.e. to Google and bing.

    Hence, I wish to know if there is a way to change the sitemap location or at least rename it to an unexpected name. Ofcourse I’ll manually submit the sitemap URL in webmaster tools of Google and bing, hence indexing of new articles should not be a problem.

    But I wish to change the location to some other folder, or if it could be renamed and how to mark the sitemap as “noindex” for the search engine?
