Troubleshooting
robots.txt does not load as expected
Check these first:
- Re-save permalinks in Settings → Permalinks
- If you expect the plugin's virtual output, make sure WordPress is public in Settings → Reading
- Check for a physical
/robots.txtfile in the site root
Virtual output is not updating
- Clear page, CDN, and server caches
- Open the final preview step and confirm the generated output before saving
- Check whether a physical
/robots.txtfile is taking precedence
The final output does not match what I expected
Review each relevant step again and compare it with the preview in Step 14 - Review & Save before saving.
llms.txt does not appear
Make sure all of these are true:
- You are on Pro or Premium
- The
Enable llms.txt Virtual Filetoggle is on - The
LLMS.txt Contentfield is not empty
Physical file conflicts
If the settings screen says a physical /robots.txt file is blocking virtual output:
- remove the file manually, or
- use the delete action shown by the plugin when available
Sitemap lines are missing
- Enter a manual sitemap URL in
Global Settings, or - enable auto-detection and make sure your sitemap is reachable
Crawl delay is missing from the output
Crawl Delay is available on Pro and Premium plans.
