Frequently Asked Questions

What should I block in robots.txt?

Common blocks include /wp-admin/, /cgi-bin/, and private directories. Do not block content you want indexed.

Does robots.txt guarantee blocking?

Polite crawlers obey robots.txt. Malicious bots may ignore it. It is not a security measure.

Will this override a physical robots.txt file?

WordPress virtual robots.txt takes effect. Remove any physical file in your root directory.
