Robots.txt: Confirmation Only

    Hi Sybre,

    Just to double check if my assumption is correct. Adding a robots.txt in the root of the site prevents The SEO Framework from adding the one outputted by your plugin. Correct?

    Still deciding on extending the robots.txt output from TSF via the available hook or just adding on myself. What would be your suggestion?

    Thanks in advance for you answer and help!

    Hello!

    Yes, that’s correct: When you put a robots.txt or sitemap.xml file in your domain’s root folder, WordPress nor TSF can output those virtually.

    If you’re running a subdomain-based WordPress Multisite network (if you don’t know what that is, you’re definitely not), there’s a caveat: the files will be shared among all sites in the network, and you’ll lose granular control over these files on site-basis.

    But, if you’re not running such a network, you can safely put a robots.txt file in your domain’s root folder. With that, I’d suggest whatever’s easiest for you to maintain ?? TSF will nag a bit at you, though, but you can safely ignore that.
