    In WordPress settings for instance, WP delivers the robots.txt. Still the App Settings give the impression, there is no robots.txt settings done.

    Shouldn't there be a warning, that there is already an robots.txt active with certain settings?

    (Ask me about B2B marketing automation & low code business solutions, if thats interesting for you.)

      as in, you want the Cloudron dashboard to indicate that the app has it's own robots.txt ? That would be complicated given that an app can choose to handle paths however it wants. It's all dynamic.

        @joseph Maybe an alternative UX could be for an app admin to have the ability to “disable” the Cloudron robots.txt feature on apps like WordPress so that it’s clear to other admins that the app is managing the robots.txt instead of Cloudron. Just an idea at least.

          The docs say "By default, robots.txt is not set, allowing the app to provide its own." I think a variation of this should be put in the UI itself. Good idea @d19dotca

            @joseph wouldn't it just need to make an http call at the moment the settings load?
