getting a 404 not found when setting the llms.txt

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with the 404 error when trying to access your llms.txt file. This can happen if there is a conflict with the server configuration or if the file is not being generated correctly.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix this issue:

1. Check for Existing llms.txt File: Ensure that there isn’t an existing llms.txt file in your site’s root directory that might be causing a conflict. You can check this using cPanel or an FTP client.

2. Regenerate .htaccess File: Sometimes, issues with the .htaccess file can lead to 404 errors. You can regenerate your .htaccess file by going to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit .htaccess. Make sure to save any changes you make.
   

3. Clear Cache: If you have any caching plugins or server-level caching enabled, clear the cache to ensure that the latest changes are reflected.

4. Check Server Configuration: If your site is hosted on an Nginx server, ensure that the necessary rewrite rules are in place for handling custom files like llms.txt. You may need to consult your hosting provider for assistance with this.

5. Test URL: After making these changes, try accessing your llms.txt file again at https://rankmath.com/blog/clear-cache-in-wordpress/ (replaceyourdomain.com` with your actual domain).
