Isolating author/user pages for XML sitemap inclusion

Hi there! Is there any word on this issue? Thanks!

FYI, I would like to request the same feature.

We have on average, 3 administrator users and 1 author per client’s WP installation.

The author xml sitemap function of this plugin treats administrators as authors (unless the username is admin) and sadly, does not automatically omit authors with 0 (zero) posts, which it logically should.

So, to enable the author xml sitemap, we have to be willing to have our administrator accounts exposed in unnecessary and empty xml sitemaps.

This should be a simple if(posts = 0) statement in the plugin and I would hope that the Yoast team would add this functionality on the next update.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
