Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the llms.txt file not appearing correctly. Thank you for providing an update regarding the trailing slash fix.
It seems that while the trailing slash issue has been addressed, the original problem with the file not being recognized as llms.txt still persists. We recommend replying to your existing ticket with this information so that a human agent from our support team can take a closer look at the issue and assist you further.
If you could also include your site URL in your reply, it would help us diagnose the problem more effectively.
Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to resolving this for you soon!
This is an automated reply from Rank Math Support Bot. Your ticket has been assigned to a human agent and we will get back to you shortly.
Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
Can you please clear your website caches, including server-level caching as well?
If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
We apologise for the late response.
We checked the initial ticket you opened regarding the issue, but the login credentials are not shared over there.
Meanwhile, 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.
If the issue persists after that, please share your NGINX configurations with us so we can review it.
Looking forward to helping you.
my understanding was this would just work with popular wordpress hosts. its a normal configuration on wp engine and i sent the screenshots of what it was. i suggest you guys try to test it on WP engine and what needs to change.
it worked wiht the trailing slash as is but not after you guys fixed it. it fully seems like a development issue and you should be able to see this by just testing it on a wp engine server.
Hello,
We apologize for the inconvenience.
We are continuously working to improve our features. Right now, Rank Math generates the LLMs.txt file dynamically, and if your server blocks it, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do from our end.
In this case, we can only suggest you get in touch with your hosting provider and check your Nginx config file to ensure there are no directives blocking the llms.txt.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
it was working fine when you had the trailing slash on it.
/llms.txt/ was working on the server. now that it was “fixed” the file no longer comes up. it seems to be an issue with the plugin not the server. I encourage you to look closer.
Hello,
A user also hosting WP Engine claimed they got their llms.txt working by adding the following snippet to their config file:
location = /llms.txt {
proxy_pass $dynamic_upstream_read_only;
}
You can try that and see if it helps. Looking forward to helping you.
i would ask if you can look into making sure it works without having to configure anything.
Yoast works fine with llms.txt on WP Engine without having to configure anything i would assume rankmath could do the same
Hello,
We really appreciate your feedback.
Our developers are currently working on this issue, and when we release a fix, we’ll announce it on our changelog page: https://rankmath.com/changelog/
In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thank you.
sounds like you are acknowledging that it will be fixed in an upcoming release. ill close this when i see it posted
Hello,
In the meantime, please ask your host to flush the NGINX cache and exclude the caching for the responses made for the .txt files. Once done, our plugin should be able to generate the llms.txt file.
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
