Controlled XML Sitemap Output

Decide which post types, pages, taxonomies, users and language-related entries should stay visible in your WordPress XML sitemap.

More Than A Sitemap Toggle

Use focused filters, audit hints, robots.txt guidance, canonical checks and optional Pro diagnostics instead of relying only on default WordPress sitemap output.

A Cleaner Way To Manage WordPress XML Sitemaps

Default WordPress XML sitemaps are useful, but complex websites often need more control. Legal pages, utility pages, low-value archives, old content, hidden pages, language roots, author pages, taxonomy terms and SEO-plugin metadata can make sitemap output harder to understand.

RIVANOX XML Sitemap Filter helps you review and control what appears in XML with clear admin tables, practical filters, audit hints and optional Pro diagnostics.

Practical Sitemap Control

Disable complete sitemap providers or exclude individual published entries from XML without editing theme files or changing WordPress core behavior.

Review Before You Index

Use audit hints to review noindex signals, canonical behavior, robots.txt access and sitemap visibility before making indexing decisions.

Voluntary support RIVANOX on Ko-fi

☕ Voluntary support only. No license purchase, no feature unlock and no support claim. Thank you for helping RIVANOX tools stay maintained. 💚

What is the difference between Free Plugin, Pro and Voluntary Support?

Free includes the core sitemap control workflow, post type exclusions, individual exclusions, taxonomy controls, user sitemap controls, XML language filtering, basic audit hints, robots.txt recommendations and canonical/noindex review.

Pro is designed for agencies, freelancers, business websites and advanced WordPress projects that need scheduled monitoring, deeper diagnostics, rule dry-runs, fix assistance, CSV evidence export and agency-ready reports.

Business use of the free core plugin is allowed. Voluntary support is optional and Pro is only required for Pro modules, license validation, support access and optional RIVANOX service infrastructure.

Can the plugin guarantee SEO rankings or indexing results?

No. The plugin provides operational sitemap, robots.txt, canonical, noindex and indexing-readiness assistance.

Search engine behavior depends on many factors. Audit results, auto-fix suggestions and Pro reports must be reviewed manually before relying on them for publication, deindexing or SEO decisions.

Does the plugin run heavy checks on the frontend?

No. License checks, product status checks, Pro audits and support widgets are not required during normal frontend page rendering.

Sitemap control remains focused on WordPress sitemap output, while heavier audits and Pro monitoring run in the admin area or through controlled WP-Cron workflows.

What data is sent during license, product status and support checks?

The plugin may contact RIVANOX infrastructure for license validation, product status checks, release metadata and optional support/attribution-related checks, depending on configuration.

Depending on your license and configuration, the check may include technical data such as product ID, app version/build, license key, license email if provided, device or installation identifier, timestamps and technical connection data such as IP address. Optional diagnostic or admin logs are written only when enabled and only to the configured local or network path.

How do public product updates work?

Public product updates may be downloaded without a Pro license.

Normal plugin updates are intended to preserve settings, license data and local logs. Pro modules, support access and optional RIVANOX service infrastructure may still require a valid Pro license.

Is RIVANOX XML Sitemap Filter production-ready?

RIVANOX XML Sitemap Filter v1.31 is provided as a Stable Beta.

It is actively maintained and intended for practical testing and daily use, but behavior may vary depending on WordPress version, active theme, SEO plugins, cache plugins, multilingual plugins, hosting configuration and individual site setup. Beta, Pro, audit, monitoring, auto-fix, license, update and product-status functions may change or be temporarily unavailable.
