    Hello Ryan,

    I am having issues with pages being included in “llms.txt” even though they are marked as “noindex” in YOAST SEO.

    In another post, you suggest modifying the “llms.txt” file manually. I appreciate that suggestion.

    However, I have noticed that the refer to llms.txt in the

    “sitemap_index.xml” and “llms-sitemap.xml”

    suddenly disappears as soon as you deactivate the plug-in.

    Would it be possible (as a short-term solution) to add an option called “never” to the “update frequency” in the plugin? This way, the plugin could remain activated, the XML files would work, but llms.txt would not be automatically overwritten after one week (currently the longest option), thereby destroying the manual version.

    Best regards,
    Kiu

    Hi Kiu,

    Our current guidance is to not include llms.txt in the sitemap. It’s still an option in the plugin settings, but we don’t have good guidance from google on llms.txt and we have seen the file being indexed on a few sites (which could cause duplicate content issues for users including full posts in their llms.txt).

    In your case, you could use the plugin, customize the llms.txt file, deactivate the plugin, and then upload your own llms.txt to the root.

    We remove llms.txt that we create from the root on plugin deactivation so that users don’t have to do that manually.
