Overview

This article covers how to locate and edit your llms.txt file when using the Search Atlas WordPress plugin, and how to incorporate Atlas Agent output into that file. Because the specific behavior of your setup may vary, the steps below describe common approaches — if anything does not match what you see, contact our team for guidance tailored to your configuration.

Where the llms.txt File Lives

When the Search Atlas WordPress plugin is configured to serve llms.txt through your domain, the content may come from a physical file in your WordPress root directory (the same level as wp-config.php) or from plugin-generated output. To check whether the file is being served, visit https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt in a browser after enabling the option in the plugin settings.

If you are unsure which source your plugin is using, reach out to our support team before making edits.

How to Edit the llms.txt File

  1. Connect to your server using an FTP client (such as FileZilla) or your hosting provider's file manager.

  2. Navigate to the root directory of your WordPress installation — this is the folder that contains wp-config.php, wp-content, and wp-admin.

  3. Check whether a file named llms.txt already exists.

    • If it exists, open it and edit the content directly.
    • If it does not exist, create a new plain-text file named llms.txt in that directory.

  4. Save the file and reload https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt to verify your changes are live.

Important: Use a plain-text editor only (such as Notepad, VS Code, or nano). Do not use a word processor like Microsoft Word, as it may insert hidden formatting characters.

Merging Atlas Agent Output into llms.txt

The Atlas Agent does not write directly to your llms.txt file. To merge its output, follow these steps:

  1. Retrieve the text output you want to include from the Atlas Agent within the Search Atlas platform.
  2. Copy that output text.
  3. Open your llms.txt file on the server using FTP or your hosting file manager, as described in the section above.
  4. Paste the copied content into the file, placing it in a logical position consistent with the formatting and structure already present in the file (for example, appending it after existing entries or inserting it under a relevant section heading).
  5. Save the file and verify the updated content appears at https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt.

Tips for a clean merge:

  • Review your existing llms.txt content first so you understand its current structure before adding new content.
  • Avoid duplicate entries — if the Atlas Agent output overlaps with existing content, consolidate them manually.
  • If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to be connected with a member of our team.
