WP_Sitemaps::send_404 │ private │ WP 7.1.1

Sends a 404 for a sitemap route that cannot be served.

WP::handle_404() exempts sitemap requests, so every sitemap 404 is issued here instead. That includes the no-cache headers handle_404() sends with its own 404, so an intermediary does not retain a 404 for a route that becomes valid once the site has more content.

Method of the class: WP_Sitemaps{}

No Hooks.

Returns

null. Nothing (null).

Usage

// private - for code of main (parent) class only
$result = $this->send_404(): void;
