Is anyone experiencing issues with the robots.txt file rendering random characters and duplicating the sitemap on Webflow?
If you are experiencing issues with the robots.txt file rendering random characters and duplicating the sitemap on Webflow, there are a few potential causes and solutions to consider:
Check for erroneous characters: Random characters in the robots.txt file can occur if there is a syntax error or if there are special characters that are not properly encoded. Double-check the content of your robots.txt file for any unusual characters, especially those that are not part of the standard syntax.
Verify sitemap settings: If your sitemap is being duplicated in the robots.txt file, it's possible that you have multiple sitemap references in your Webflow project settings. Make sure the sitemap is properly configured in the project settings and that there is only one reference to the sitemap.
Review custom code: If you have added any custom code or integrated third-party services that interact with the robots.txt file, there might be conflicts or issues. Ensure that the custom code you have added or any integrations you have made are not causing the problem.
Clear cache and republish: Sometimes, caching issues can cause unexpected behavior in the robots.txt file. Clear your browser cache and force a republish of your Webflow site to ensure that you are viewing the most up-to-date version of the robots.txt file.
Contact Webflow support: If you have exhausted all troubleshooting steps and are still experiencing issues with the robots.txt file in Webflow, it is recommended to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They have the expertise to investigate and resolve any technical issues you may be facing.
