Remove certain categories/sub categories from sitemap

Hi,

Can anyone suggest how to remove specific categories and sub categories from default sitemap and sitemapxml?

I know how to remove other unwanted pages however the categories etc seem to be a different ball game

Thanks

If removing categories etc from sitemap is difficult can anyone help with redirecting outdated urls?

I have tried using the following code in .htaccess however it is not working...

# Needed before any rewriting
RewriteEngine On

## 301 Redirects
# 301 Redirect 1
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^main_page=FILENAME_ABOUT_US$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /index.php?main_page=about_us [R=301,NE,NC,L]

anyone? :blink:

Surely someone can shed some light on this? The normal 301 redirects code for obsolete urls doesnt work in .htaccess. Does anyone know why? Is it someway that Zen cart creates the urls??
