Sitemap Priority

This was indeed removed for individual posts and pages. Instead you would need to set a filter.

You can refer to the following for a lead on creating this filter: https://kb.yoast.com/article/216-can-i-change-the-sitemap-priority

Hi, Nile..
I already read the following link you give to change the priority and it works, but i also want to change the priority of product_category and tag. I try adding category in the end like this code below but it doesn’t work,

add_filter( ‘wpseo_xml_sitemap_post_priority’, ‘my_custom_post_xml_priority’, 10, 4 );

function my_custom_post_xml_priority( $return, $type, $post) {
if ($type == ‘page’)
$return = 1.0;
else if ($type == ‘post’)
$return = 0.6;
else if ($type == ‘product’)
$return = 0.6;
else if ($type == ‘category’)
$return = 0.9;
return $return;
}

maybe, if you can help me with this…

Hello @pfundty,

Also when using Google XML Sitemaps and Yoast SEO (with sitemap option disabled) is the indexing function of Yoast SEO affected? As far as I can tell it is not but would like to check.

You are right that it wouldn’t affect the indexing of Yoast SEO.

Thank you
