🤖 Edit llms.txt and Integrate Atlas Agent

🗺️ Overview

When you enable the Serve llms.txt via a virtual route option in the Search Atlas WordPress plugin, WordPress does not create a physical file on your server. Instead, it serves the content dynamically. This means you cannot edit the file through your hosting file manager or FTP — all edits must be made inside the plugin itself or through Search Atlas.

⚙️ Where to Edit llms.txt in the WordPress Plugin

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. In the left sidebar, navigate to Search Atlas and open the plugin settings.
3. Select the LLMs.txt tab (or section, depending on your plugin version).
4. You will see a text editor where the current llms.txt content is displayed.
5. Make your changes directly in this editor.
6. Click Save Settings to apply your edits.

Once saved, your updated content will be served automatically at yourdomain.com/llms.txt. You do not need to upload any files manually.

🤖 How to Generate a Detailed llms.txt with Atlas Agent

Atlas Agent can generate a richer, more structured llms.txt file tailored to your site's content and SEO context. Follow these steps to create and retrieve that file.

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account at app.searchatlas.com.
2. From the left sidebar, click Home.
3. Click Launch Atlas Agent to open the agent interface.
4. Prompt Atlas Agent to generate an llms.txt file for your domain. For example: "Generate a detailed llms.txt file for [yourdomain.com] including all key pages and content descriptions."
5. Review the output in the agent's response panel.
6. Copy the full generated content.

🔗 Integrating the Atlas Agent Output into Your WordPress Plugin

1. Return to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to Search Atlas → Settings → LLMs.txt.
3. Select all existing content in the text editor and delete it.
4. Paste the content copied from Atlas Agent into the editor.
5. Click Save Settings.
6. Visit yourdomain.com/llms.txt in your browser to confirm the updated content is live.

Important: Always verify the file is rendering correctly after saving. If the content reverts to default after saving, this is a known issue that was resolved in plugin version 2.6.3. Make sure your plugin is updated to at least that version.

✅ Keeping Your Plugin Up to Date

Some llms.txt editing and publishing issues were tied to specific plugin versions. To avoid problems:

• Keep the Search Atlas WordPress plugin updated to the latest version.
• After every plugin update, re-check your llms.txt content to confirm it has not reverted.
• If you publish llms.txt changes through Atlas Agent's conversational flow, verify the live file matches your intended content — earlier versions had a bug where edits persisted in the editor but the original unedited version was published to WordPress.

🛠️ Troubleshooting Common Issues

• llms.txt content reverts after saving: Update the plugin to version 2.6.3 or later, then re-paste and save your content.
• Changes from Atlas Agent do not appear on the live site: Manually copy the Atlas Agent output and paste it into the plugin editor, then save. Do not rely solely on the automated publish flow if you notice discrepancies.
• File not accessible at yourdomain.com/llms.txt: Confirm that the Serve llms.txt via a virtual route toggle is enabled and that your permalink settings in WordPress are not set to Plain (go to Settings → Permalinks and select any option other than Plain, then save).
