Overview

The following documentation offers step-by-step instructions for creating the virtual Robots.txt file.

Creating Robots.txt

  • Navigate to the WordPress dashboard -> SiteSEO -> PRO.
  • Click on the 'robots.txt' tab and then click on the 'Create robots.txt' button
step 1 create robot.txt file
  • To create a robots.txt file, you can use predefined snippets found at the bottom of the Virtual Robots.txt file textarea. Alternatively, you can manually insert the content inside the textarea.
Enter rules of robots.txt
  • After completing the editing, click 'Update robots.txt' to apply your robots.txt.

Viewing Robots.txt

  • To preview your virtual robots.txt file, click the 'View robots.txt' button.
view robots.txt file
  • Alternatively, you can view the robots.txt by typing 'https://example.com/robots.txt' directly in your browser's address bar.
Note: If a physical robots.txt file exists on your server, the virtual configuration won't override it. Some hosts automatically add a physical robots.txt file, and creating your own is the only way to bypass it. In instances like with hosts such as Infomaniak, the virtual robots.txt from WP or SEOPress cannot override the physical file.
