Robots.txt File Robots.txt Hugo can generate a customized robots.txt in the same way as any other template. 2017-02-01 2017-02-01 2017-02-01

To create your robots.txt as a template, first set the enableRobotsTXT value to true in your configuration file. By default, this option generates a robots.txt with the following content, which tells search engines that they are allowed to crawl everything:

User-agent: *

Robots.txt Template Lookup Order

The lookup order for the robots.txt template is as follows:

  • /layouts/robots.txt
  • /themes/<THEME>/layout/robots.txt

{{% note %}} If you do not want Hugo to create a default robots.txt or leverage the robots.txt template, you can hand code your own and place the file in static. Remember that everything in the static directory is copied over as-is when Hugo builds your site. {{% /note %}}

Robots.txt Template Example

The following is an example robots.txt layout:

{{< code file="layouts/robots.txt" download="robots.txt" >}} User-agent: *

{{range .Data.Pages}} Disallow: {{.RelPermalink}} {{end}} {{< /code >}}

This template disallows all the pages of the site by creating one Disallow entry for each page.
