Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Bisteinoff SEO Robots.txt

No, it will not. If the file robots.txt is found in the root folder it will not be overridden. On the Settings page you will see a notification with two options: rename or delete the existing file robots.txt. The plugin provides this functionality directly in the admin interface.

Once the plugin is installed it will work fine for all search engine robots. If you are not aware of the rules for fine-tuning a robots.txt it is better to leave the file as is or read first a corresponding manual to learn more about the directives used for robots.txt. Note: the following directives would block the corresponding search robot(s): Disallow: Disallow: / Disallow: * Disallow: /* Disallow: */ You should use any of these directives only if you do not want any page of your website to be accessible for crawling.
