    Hi Jean-Pierre,

    Please mention the Workspace, Project name and the Preview URL of the project where you are experiencing this issue. Kindly also specify the non existent URLs in the sitemap. We will take a look

    The site is Nwhomes.ai. I deleted pages and made categories non SEO followed but they still are on the sitemap

    https://nwhomes.ai/hardscape (categorie blog)

    https://nwhomes.ai/painting (deleted page)

    https://nwhomes.ai/roofing (deleted page)

    https://nwhomes.ai/skylights (categorie blog)

    Hello

    You still have blog post categories with these slug.

    I know but they are not supposed to appear on my sitemap as I de indexed them on the backend.

    Hi Jean-Pierre,

    When you disable the search engine visibility option on a certain page, Brizy Cloud adds a noindex code. Visit each of the above four web pages and view the page source; you will find this code

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"/>

    When Googlebot crawls the page the next time, Google will drop that page from their search results. Removing a page from your sitemap does not automatically remove it from Google's index; it only means Google will no longer actively use the sitemap to discover that specific page. To completely remove it from search results, you must take additional measures like as adding a "noindex" tag or creating a 404 error page.

    Thanks KC I know but why this webpage https://nwhomes.ai/roofing is still on the sitemap. It's been deleted from the account a month ago, same for skylights

    Hi

    https://nwhomes.ai/roofing and https://nwhomes.ai/skylights are category archive pages for your blog posts. The category archive pages will be removed from your sitemap only when you delete the related categories.

    Hi Jean-Pierre,

    You're right; this is one of the things we tried but couldn't complete. We are not currently working on changing the slug structure to match the one provided in the editor.
