Need to remove from sitemap.xml /add_to_wishlist=8024

Hi there

I just checked your sitemap, and I couldn’t find any reference to add_to_wishlist=8024

In any case, add_to_wishlist parameter is just added to some buttons inside the page, and shouldn’t be considered in any way when generating sitemap (they are generated starting from the posts/pages/products registered on your store)

It may happen that you see that parameter being registered in your tracking tools, such as Google Analytics, that crawls your pages; anyway by default all ATW buttons contain rel="nofollow" attribute, so this shouldn’t be the case
In this latter case I suggest you to review templates defined inside your theme or child folder, searching for add-to-wishlist.php or add-to-wishlist-button.php templates, in root path or uner /woocommerce subpath; if you can find them try to rename them to add-to-wishlist.php.bak and add-to-wishlist-button.php.bak respectively and scan again your site, to see if nofollow correctly applies this time

I have renamed this files under theme/woocommerce add-to-wishlist-button.php.bak after running https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ also generating lot of wishlist urls add_to_wishlist=***

Hi again

I just checked your site, and I can see that on the loop the Add to Wishlist button still doesn’t contain rel=”nofollow” attribute, that would prevent crawlers from following it

I suppose this is because that button is added as a theme customization, and just ignores plugin template
For this reason I think that the best option for you is to contact theme developers, and ask them if they could
1. update wishlist templates bundled within the theme
2. add rel=”nofollow” to the Add to Wishlist button on the loop (by the way, since version 3.x wishlist officially supports ATW buttons on the loop, so they may consider to give style to those, instead of adding their own buttons)

Dear support team,

As per suggestion added rel=”nofollow” for wishlist button links, After tested still generating urls add_to_wishlist=***

Please refer this screenshot: https://ibb.co/92SKdRc

I have cleared cache then run sitemap it’s working now

Thanks for your help!!!!!!

You’re welcome!
