Hi Ov3rfly,
From The SEO Framework 2.5.2, the following filters will be supported. 2.5.2 is almost ready to be released.
As noted, The SEO Framework doesn’t support a sitemap index (yet). This means that we have to stick with a single sitemap, and therefore have to add URL’s, instead of file locations.
The filters will listen to no options other than if the sitemap is output or not. So lastmod will be included when given.
To add URL’s to the sitemap, please use either of the following filters.
The first filter will take the arrays sent to it apart and put them neatly into a sitemap protocol-conform index.
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_sitemap_additional_urls', 'my_addition_sitemap_urls' );
function my_addition_sitemap_urls() {
$urls = array(
'https://example.com/my-page/' => array(
'lastmod' => '2016-01-27 13:04:55', // '16-01-27' is also accepted
'priority' => 0.8, // when empty, 0.9 is default
),
'https://example.com/my-other-page/' => array(
'lastmod' => '2016-01-22 7:08:00',
'priority' => 0.7,
),
'https://example.com/more-examples/' => array(
'lastmod' => '2016-01-22 8:12:22',
),
'https://example.com/and-another-example/' => array(
'priority' => 1,
),
'https://example.com/last-example/',
);
return $urls;
}
This second filter will just echo anything.
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_sitemap_extend', 'my_sitemap_extension' );
function my_sitemap_extension() {
//* Put content in string.
$my_sitemap_content =
"<url>
<loc>https://example.com/my-page/</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-27</lastmod>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>https://example.com/my-other-page/</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-22</lastmod>
<priority>0.7</priority>
</url>";
return $my_sitemap_content;
}
Please be aware that the Sitemap is cached and you can flush the cache by saving any post or page or by saving the SEO settings.
The URLs will be added to the bottom of the sitemap, before the urlset closes. Many search engines listen to the priority tag and do take the order of the URLs into account (only when the URL is duplicated, then the first URL takes priority).
I hope this is what you needed!
Thanks and have a great day!
