How to prevent "test" pages from being included in WireSitemapXML sitemap.xml

[Jonathan Lahijani]

I oftentimes create a checkbox field called 'test' and assign it to certain templates.  I check the box if the page is a test page.  These pages may exist on the live site and I don't want to hide or unpublish them, but at the same time, I don't want them to appear in the XML Sitemap.  (not part of this tutorial, but I also noindex,nofollow those pages using a meta tag in the head so search engines don't index them)

In that case, you can remove them from the WireSitemapXML like this in /site/ready.php:

$wire->addHookAfter('WireSitemapXML::allowPage', function(HookEvent $event) {
  $page = $event->arguments('page');
  if($page->hasField('test') && $page->test) $event->return = false;
});
