Question: How can I hide a page from a sitemap in WordPress?

In WordPress, there are a few ways to hide a page from your sitemap. This is typically done using SEO plugins such as Yoast SEO or All in One SEO Pack. The general process involves marking a page as 'noindex' which then removes it from the sitemap.

Using Yoast SEO:

1. Edit the page you want to hide.
2. Scroll down to the Yoast SEO meta box below the text editor.
3. Click on the 'Advanced' tab.
4. Choose 'No' under the option that says 'Allow search engines to show this Page in search results?'.
5. Save or update the page.

<!-- This is typically what happens behind the scenes when you select 'No' -->
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Using All in One SEO Pack:

1. Edit the page you want to hide.
2. Find the 'All in One SEO Pack' box below the page editor.
3. Check the 'NOINDEX' checkbox under the 'Robots Meta NOINDEX'.
4. Update the page.

<!-- This is typically what happens behind the scenes when you check 'NOINDEX' -->
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Remember, setting a page to 'noindex' makes certain that search engines won't index the page and it won't appear in search results. This also means that this page will be excluded from the sitemap generated by your SEO plugin.
