      I'm using Yoast SEO plugin to generate XML sitemaps on my e-commerce site (woocommerce). I recently changed the category structure and now only 25 of about 75 product categories are included.

      Is there a way to manually include urls or what is the best way to have them all indexed in the sitemap?

        Look here:

        • admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#post_types
        • admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#taxonomies

        Make sure that you're not nofollowing any of them.. Also look here:

        • admin.php?page=wpseo_xml

        To make sure you're excluding taxonomies. I'm currently using wordpress and woocommerce as well with yoast seo.

          Ok, thanks. None are nofollow. But you don't mean I should exclude taxonomies right? See attached how I have it setup in Yoast SEO plugin. Right or Wrong?

            I guess I should no-index coupons in the post types section though, right? I have tags and product tags set to no index.

              Yes,

              You should exclude coupons. I do, personally, at least.
