Description

See: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_sitemaps_provider/

Why We need $name property to be protected? It is just name. This is inconvenient and can cause bugs. For example I create my Sitemaps Provider like this:

<?php
add_filter( 'init', 'wpkama_register_sitemap_providers' )
function wpkama_register_sitemap_providers(){

        require_once __DIR__ .'/class-Similar_Posts_Sitemaps_Provider.php';

        $provider = new Similar_Posts_Sitemaps_Provider();

        wp_register_sitemap_provider( 'similarposts', $provider );
}

And I can't get the value of $name property like this:

<?php

        $provider = new Similar_Posts_Sitemaps_Provider();

        wp_register_sitemap_provider( $provider->name, $provider );

But if first argument of wp_register_sitemap_provider() function and the $name prop are different the Sitemap Provider won't run at all!

So all I can to do is copy $name prop value and past it as parameter. And if I will change the name I need to remember to copy because they must be the same (and code itself doesn't tell me this dependency).

While I'm not sure why it's marked protected, I'm just noting that if you want to make the $name property public, you can do so in the subclassed provider as PHP allows you to change the visibility, for example: https://3v4l.org/QIVCg

You could also call wp_register_sitemap_provider( $this->name, $this ) within the class through something like $provider = new Similar_Posts_Sitemaps_Provider(); $provider->register_provider(); I believe.

Thanks, good solution! But maybe it's better to change it to "public" in main class.
