Can’t use with category excluder

Hi add this code to your functions.php. I think it should work:

function sitemap_cat_fix ($q) {
    global $wp_query;
    if (isset($wp_query->query_vars['thesimplewpsitemap'])) {
        $q->set('category__not_in', false);
    }
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'sitemap_cat_fix', 99);

About when you deactivate it can sometimes take a while before the rewrite rules for the sitemaps disappear from your site. So wait a couple days but if it’s still not gone then check here: https://www.webhostinghero.com/3-ways-to-flush-the-rewrite-cache-in-wordpress/

Thanks a lot Webbjocke, I will try. Also thanks for this great plugin.

Hello again, it fixed thanks a lot!

Can I ask what 99 at the end of here “‘sitemap_cat_fix’, 99);” means?

And does it split sitmap.xml say if I have more than 1000 posts?

Great, no problems! It’s the priority for the function so it runs after Category Excluder and should in this case just be a number greater than 10. I set it to 99 to be safe ??

Nope that’s what premium does. But it still works up to 5k posts. I think google for instance allows for about 50k posts in a sitemap, and if your server can handle it the 5k limit can just be changed.
