How to Remove Pages Marked as NOINDEX from Sitemap?

I am get a similar message. I am actively blocking sites from probing my php code. Does this blocking have anything to do with this problem? Google error message below:

Hi Arne!

Happy New Year!

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Pages (and some authors) are marked as noindex but they are still being picked up by your sitemap plugin and submitted on the sitemap.

I did add the IDs under Excluded Posts and that removes them from the sitemap. Not the most elegant solution, but a solution nonetheless. ?? Now I know whenever something is flagged as noindex, it also needs to be manually added to this line.

Now, here’s the issue: I don’t know how to remove specific authors (that have only written one blog post and don’t want to have them indexed and create dup content) Can I add the User id?

Server: nginx
WP version 4.9.8

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!

Best,
