Indexing User Profiles in XML Sitemap

@carlosmdlf

I have made some changes to the old code snippet and you can try this version and replace both old functions with this code:

add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_sitemap_additional_urls', 'the_seo_framework_sitemap_additional_um_urls', 10, 1);

function the_seo_framework_sitemap_additional_um_urls ( $custom_urls = [] ) {

    if( ! function_exists( 'UM' )) return $custom_urls;

    $users = get_users();
   
    foreach( $users as $user ){
        $user_profile_slug = UM()->user()->get_profile_link( $user->ID );
        $um_last_update = get_user_meta( $user->ID, "um_last_update", true );
        if( $um_last_update ) {
            $custom_urls[$user_profile_slug] = ['lastmod' => date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', $um_last_update )];
        } else {
            $custom_urls[$user_profile_slug] = ['lastmod' => $user->user_registered];
        }
    }
    return $custom_urls;
}

Install by adding to your active theme’s functions.php file
or use the “Code Snippets” plugin.

Hi @missveronicatv thanks a lot for your answer. I found another way around it I think might be usufell for other UM users. What I did was to change all of my users roles from Subscriber, to Author. Then I was able to index them in the XML author map provided by Yoast Seo. I think this is a simpler solution that provides more protection against future updates, since obviously the snippet aproach got some update issues. Thanks a lot for the code though, will test it if something goes wrong in the future with my current solution.
