Hi, how to upload a robots.txt file with the new upload function in Blocs 5?
(we use robots.txt to block Google until the website is ready)
same question. unanswered.
I typically do this via htacess if I want to be sure Google will not index a site, then you can also upload a no index robots.txt file using an external FTP app like Forklift or alternatively through your web host. Some also like to place content behind password protected areas.
A simpler step is to untick the index option in page settings.
One point I would caution here is that if you do choose this option it can sometimes be quite a while until Google then indexes the site if you go back and select the option to index pages. To get around that, add it to the Google search console and manually submit pages.

thanks for your answer, but the original question was another.
As far as I know you cannot do this in Blocs, but you can disable page indexing as I suggested.
I always upload websites and other files using Forklift FTP.
thank you very much
