    this line was inserted yesterday:
    at the end says: disallow /uploads/wpo-plugins-tables-list.json

    This is a real error?

    Hi – I too am experiencing this error on several websites. I have written to support the following:

    I have noticed that on a couple of my websites the robots file generated by RankMath seems to have some strange code.

    Eg.:

    Sitemap: https://*********.com/sitemap_index.xmlDisallow: /uploads/wpo-plugins-tables-list.json

    As mentioned, this appears exactly for 2 different sites.

    Support answered:

    Can you please check your settings at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt?

    I cannot edit the robots file in RankMath.

    Hello

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    We have noted this issue before from our other clients before and a major cause of the issue was the WP-Optimize plugin.

    Here is an open issue on the WordPress forum about it as well:https://wordpress.org/support/topic/location-of-wpo-plugins-tables-list-json/

    Could you be having this plugin installed on your site also? If so please make a point of deactivating it of enquiring from the devs team on how to mitigate this issue.

    We are looking forward to helping you.
    Thank you.
