I can read a lot of questions about this topic but with different interpretations.

So here is the issue. I am trying to remove the virtual robots.txt file in a wordpress site. I realized this was generated with a plugin (xml sitemap plugin) prior to me working on the site. Here is what I have done. I generated a new robots.txt file, uploaded and ensure it was on the root. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up, it is as if the virtual one is overriding the actual root robots.txt. I can't even use a speed …

The plugin they recommend in order to make both play nice together …

Our store is on Magento which is installed at root. Our blog uses Wordpress and is installed at /wp of our domain and renders at /blog.

Our store is rissyroos.com. The blog location is rissyroos.com/blog. I've tried at least a dozen different plugins starting and now ending …

As I have understand WordPress 4.0.1 has it's own "Update Service" enabled by default. The address indicated in my case is http://rpc.pingomatic.com/. So based on this thing I can state that my WordPress pack has ping service implemented and enabled. However there are several plugins that can automatically build and upload XML Sitemap to major search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo...). For me it looks like those plugins is not really necessary. But if I really need my posts to be …
