  • Simple. Easy. Just Works.

    Does exactly what it says on the tin, no bloat, no extraneous (and useless) features. It does one thing and it does that one thing perfectly. Love it.

  • I use my own sitemap, disable Yoast sitemap, and use this to disable WP sitemaps

  • Thank you!

    Always worry when something needs to be added to functions.php, because I know I'll forget about it when a theme update rolls around. Thanks for this simple, and so useful, plugin! It just works. Cheers
