Faq

What if the robots.txt file already exists?

The plugin uses the WordPress robots_txt filter and does not directly overwrite your physical file.

Does it require a sitemap plugin?

No, but it automatically references your default sitemap if one exists (like from Yoast or RankMath).

Where can I find the robots.txt editor?

In the WordPress admin under Settings > Robots-txt, or directly in the sidebar as “Robots-txt”.
