There is a filter that allows for modifying the output so we could just store as an option, would also be great for multi site.

Looks like you added this enhancement in commit 0799abb . Is that right ? We should add it to the changelog in readme.txt and close the issue.

Yes and no... You can now create the robots.txt file, but in the long run we should do this even better, because on multisite, creating it might actually give issues...

Closing, if it is important enough it can be reopened.

I deem it important enough. I think this'd actually be very useful and a relatively simple thing to build.

I can still reproduce the issue.

  1. I deleted the physical robots.txt file
  2. I installed the Clearfy plugin and created a robots.txt file (in Settings → Clearfly Menu → SEO)
  3. I checked the robots.txt file in SEO → Tools → File Editor. It doesn't detect it.

  4. I checked the website's robots.txt file using the URL, it shows the data I've set with Clearfy

The issue could probably be reproduced by any other solution that doesn't create a physical robots.txt file, I used Clearfy as I was already familiar with it.
