Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the llms.txt file returning a 404 error. This could be due to a misconfiguration in your server settings or the absence of the file itself.
To resolve this, you can check the following:
- Verify if the file exists: Log into your WordPress root directory using cPanel or an FTP application to see if the
llms.txt file is present.
- Check your web server settings: Ensure that your server is configured correctly to return a 404 error for missing files. If it’s not set up properly, it may be returning a 200 status code instead.
- Contact your hosting provider: If you are unsure about the server settings, it’s best to reach out to your web hosting provider for assistance in checking and correcting the configuration.
If you need further assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and help you out. Thank you for raising this concern!

I checked with WPEngine, and the file was not generated.
To clarify, they also said there were no issue with permissions on their end, but they went ahead and reset them.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Please check your Nginx config file and ensure there are no directives blocking the llms.txt on your site or serving .txt files if they are missing on your site.
Looking forward to helping you.
That did it. Thank you very much.
