Enable Images for custom sitemaps #42

Hi, If I want to have the image tags appear in my custom sitemaps, I need to modify your xml.php file located: /wp-content/plugins/bwp-google-xml-sitemaps/src/sitemap/xml.php

and remove both conditions checking for: if ($this->provider->is_image_allowed())

Indeed, I did not find a way thru the admin panel to let the app know that I want images also on the custom sitemaps.

Once I remove the condition checking in xml.php it all works fine. But certainly there should be a way to do so without modifying your code.

thanks!
