Sitemap content and the 'hidden' feature

jehoshua7 · August 29, 2021, 12:57am

I have been using the hidden = true to hide some content, yet I see the URI’s for the hidden content still appears in sitemap.xml

Is this a bug, or are there other methods to address this please ?

There is no hidden in the docs, ask the theme author. He should use hidden in the sitemap template.

DIY: copy & modify the sitemap in the theme or this from hugo (ev from github).

There is no sitemap template with the theme. I’ll ask the author though, thanks.
