I know this has been asked before (I searched for this and went over the answers) but I could find the solution I was looking for. Maybe I missed something, in which case I apologize in advance.
I have some pages on my site that I don't want search engines to list, so I want to exclude them from the XML sitemap. I know I can set a page to private to exclude it, but that would also make it unavailable to the public. I need these pages public, but not listed.
For example, one of these pages is a "Thank you" message that the user gets when he/she confirms the subscription to my email newsletter. It would be weird to have this listed on my sitemap and/or that it appears on the search engine results.
I'm already using the MetaRobots plugin to set these pages to noindex & nofollow. Now I just need to exclude them from the sitemap.
Is there a way to exclude specific pages from the sitemap, without setting them private? Thanks in advance.
