WordPress is adding an XML sitemap generator in core. I much prefer your plug-in – in particular its flexibility and the way I can control settings via a proper UI.
Unfortunately, the core functionality is activated automatically in WordPress 5.5 and the only way I can see to prevent that happening is to execute this code:
remove_action( 'init', 'wp_sitemaps_get_server' );
Seems unreasonable that there’s no mechanism for people unwilling/unable to engage in code. I did object but got no response.
Will you be releasing a new version of the plug-in that disables the WordPress version automatically?
