How to add URL to sitemap

    I had a static html website, to which I have just linked a new blog. The sitemap that’s generated after installing this plugin doesn’t list the static site, which is not surprising. Will this affect my SEO? Is there a way I can add the URL of the static side to the sitemap?

    Hello!

    Search engines use the sitemap to index the site quickly, but they will naturally follow all links on your site to find new pages as well. The sitemap is a bit of a dated tool and isn’t necessary for search engines to find all URLs on your site.

    Still, you can add extra URLs to the sitemap using a filter if you’d like. Here’s an example:

    add_filter(
	'the_seo_framework_sitemap_additional_urls',
	function ( $urls ) {
		return array_merge(
			$urls,
			[
				'https://example.com/page-1/',
				'https://example.com/page-2/',
				'https://example.com/page-3/',
			],
		);
	},
);

    (Where do I place filters?)
