Ability to disable auto image discovery

[gacek1123]

Clear and concise description of the problem

Google Search Console is reporting issues with the <image:image> tags in my sitemap. I don't really need them anyways, so I would like the ability to disable them.

Suggested solution

Add a new config option to allow users to disable this feature.

Hey @gacek1123, thanks for the issue.

I can add support to disable them, as a workaround you should be able to use the hooks.

Would you mind providing any more details on the GSC issue? If there is a problem that may affect other users there may be a bug fix needed as well

Same issue, any way to disable images in the sitemap? Search Console isn't validating this sitemap despite having a structured XML.

@harlan-zw Google is showing 2 different errors:

• first one saying that image has an invalid child tag url
• second one saying that image doesn't have a required tag loc

So it seems that it's actually just a bug

Any fixes for this or tutorial to remove images with hooks? Unable to get the sitemap submitted.

Thank you for clarifying and apologies for the delay.

I've pushed up a fix in 2.3.0 that should have images validate correctly.

If you'd still prefer to have the images disabled I've also added the option:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  sitemap: {
    // avoids images being added to sitemap
    discoverImages: false
  }
})

Let me know if you have any feedback on it
