Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Feeds are generated by WordPress.
You can disallow the crawler from crawling the feed URLs from the robots.txt file at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt
Add this rule to the file:
Disallow: */feed/
I hope this helps.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Hello Anas,
thank you very much for your answer. I tried to edit the robots.txt file but it says “robots.txt is not editable”.
Do I have to do anything before I can edit it?
Best regards
Ariadne
Hello,
It seems like file edits are disabled through the wp-config.php file.
Please check if this line exists in your wp-config.php file, as it needs to be set to false so Rank Math can modify your robots.txt:
define (‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true);
Here is a guide for your reference:

I hope that helps.
Thank you.
