Hi, Where can I place my robots.txt and sitemap.xml? I went ahead and placed them in /var/discourse but they cannot be read by google or bing. Thanks, Johnny

As I said you can’t upload a sitemap. There is a plugin: [image] Discourse Sitemap Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse Sitemap adds a sitemap.xml to your Discourse instance open_book Install Guide This plugin is bundled with Discourse core. There is no need to install the plugin separately. Features There has been some discussion over the need of a sitemap, and I think Discourse doesn’t really need one, although I do believe that a forum might be indexed a bit faster with one. Anyway, we created this plugin because of a customer that needed a sitemap for Google N… But it’s not really necessary.

Discourse manages the sitemap, you can’t manually upload a file.

Where can I then upload a sitemap for my site?

Pages that rank poorly on Google are, almost always, pages with poor and non-unique content.
