    Anyone else with the same problem? The site maps sitemap_index.xml, page-sitemap.xml and post-sitemap.xml are now indexed as normal pages.

    Why are the sitemaps included in search results? This behaviour started with version 2.3.4. Any comments from the Yoast developers?

    Anyone else having problem with this? It might be a problem related to W3 Total Cache. I can see that the XML declaration in the created Yoast sitemap is displayed as HTML comments in the cached sitemap and the “X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow” is also removed in the cached sitemap. So this is probably the reason to why sitemaps now are displayed in Google search results. Any suggestion how to fix this problem?

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="//website.com/main-sitemap.xsl"?>
