expected influence of robots setting for articles and menu-items Karma: 0  
Hello,

I expected that when setting the "publishing->robots" select to "No index, follow", that particular content-item or menu-item would disappear from the sitemap. Unfortunately, it still is shown.

Is that expected behaviour? Is unpublishing the only way to exclude stuff from the sitemap?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Kind regards,

Daniel

Obviously, the robots directive has nothing to do with the exclusion of links in the sitemap.

Refer to this video tutorial to learn about sitemap exlusions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo5b2g9IRSU&index=2&list=PL6t5xIMeFJ2JG3OQASXPLi5YrFduVGWq3

Also to really exclude an item from the XML sitemaps you have to use the Metainfo Dashboard switcher

Kind regards

John
