Image sitemap showing images from deleted posts
-
Hi,
I generated a sitemap using the Jetpack plugin and submitted it to Google via Google Search Console. My site has even started getting indexed with 7 pages and 1 post indexed so far. I noticed something very strange in the Image Sitemap, which is, it is also displaying sample/demo images from the sample/demo posts of the theme that I use and that’s when I have deleted those sample/demo posts. Since the posts have been deleted, the images associated with them should not appear in the Image Sitemap. Please note here that the Image Sitemap is showing “__trashed” (that seems double underscore; without quotes) written as part and at the end of the URLs of all deleted posts in the Page URL column.
A work around that comes to mind is delete all unused photos from the Media Library in my WordPress site, but this just does not sound like a solution, or does it?
I really like your sitemap generator and find that it’s much better and easy to understand and use than other, big sitemap generators. I hope there is a solution and I could continue using the sitemap generated by JetPack.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
