WordPress Template robots.txt

[MattFSGROUP]

Describe the feature or change in detail

Hi,

Could I suggest a minor edit for the default WordPress nginx template please?

Can we amend the following section:

location = /robots.txt {
        allow all;
        log_not_found off;
        access_log off;
    }

To:

   location = /robots.txt {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        log_not_found off;
        access_log off;
    }

Without this change, WordPress sites that use a PHP-generated ‘robots.txt’ instead of a 'real' robots.txt file give a 404 error.

Cheers

Would you like to sponsor this feature to have it implemented?

No

Does this apply to sitemap.xml too?

Should be not affected by any existing rules so it should do in on default

This change doesn't affect sitemap.xml, I think that works out the box. Will double-check that though when I get chance.

It works fine:
