How to exclude specific Products, Categories and CMS Pages from sitemap.xml generation in Magento 2?

Question

I need to create a custom module that allows excluding/skipping the Products, Categories and CMS Pages URLs from generating in sitemap.xml. I had tried this solution for Magento 1, How could I do it in Magento 2?

Answer 1

Answer given a base on Magento 2.3.1 Opensource

There are 3 files, the Sitemap related data of Products, Categories, and CMS Pages is coming

Magento\Sitemap\Model\ResourceModel\Catalog\Category:getCollection()

Magento\Sitemap\Model\ResourceModel\Catalog\Product:getCollection()

Magento\Sitemap\Model\ResourceModel\Cms\Page:getCollection()

So, you want to skip any product/category/page from sitemap.xml you have to work on that related class and its method.

So, create plugin on required classes and changes the out of that required getCollection() method.

Or You can work on

Or you can work om Magento\Sitemap\Model\ItemProvider\Composite argument list

See di.xml of vendor/magento/module-sitemap/etc/di.xml. On below code

<type name="Magento\Sitemap\Model\ItemProvider\Composite">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="itemProviders" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="categoryProvider" xsi:type="object">Magento\Sitemap\Model\ItemProvider\Category</item>
            <item name="cmsPageProvider" xsi:type="object">Magento\Sitemap\Model\ItemProvider\CmsPage</item>
            <item name="productProvider" xsi:type="object">Magento\Sitemap\Model\ItemProvider\Product</item>
        </argument>
    </arguments>
</type>

Suppose, I want to change at the Cms page list of sitemap. To build a module and that cmsPageProvider argument value.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">

    <type name="Magento\Sitemap\Model\ItemProvider\Composite">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="itemProviders" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="cmsPageProvider" xsi:type="object">MyVendor\MymoDule\Model\ItemProvider\MyCmsPage</item>
            </argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>

</config>

It means MyVendor\MymoDule\Model\ItemProvider\MyCmsPage Class will call On cms Page collection classes at sitemap generation instead of Magento\Sitemap\Model\ItemProvider\CmsPage
