exclude product from sitemap

Hi,

Please try to put in SEO Snippet > Visibility and switch off to “Let Squirrly Index It”.
Also, can you let us know for which URL and product do you wish to do this?

Hi Peter,

I have ~500 products and ~300 of them are out of stock. I want to exclude all out of stock products from sitemap. I would be grateful if there is an easy way to do this. I used this code for noindex tag.

//Hook the Squirrly sq_noindex for post_ids
add_filter('sq_noindex', function ($robots) {
    $robots = array();
    global $post;
    if ($post->post_type == 'product') {
	$product = wc_get_product( $post );
	if (!$product->is_in_stock())
		$robots[] = 'noindex';
		$robots[] = 'nofollow';
    }
    return $robots;
}, 11);

Regards
