02 Upload it

Upload it to the WordPress root

  1. Connect over SFTP or open your host's file manager.
  2. Open the WordPress web root - the directory containing wp-config.php, wp-admin/ and index.php. If Code23 manages deployment, send them the file and this instruction.
  3. Upload llms.txt into that directory, alongside index.php. Not /wp-content/, not a subfolder.
  4. Set permissions to 644.
Do not create this as an Elementor page or a WordPress post.

A page renders inside the theme and returns HTML, which defeats the purpose. It must be a static file on disk at the domain root.

03 Check Rank Math

Check Rank Math is not blocking it

Rank Math generates the site's robots.txt virtually - there is no physical file to edit.

  1. Rank Math › General Settings › Edit robots.txt.
  2. Confirm no Disallow rule covers /llms.txt. Current rules cover only /wp-admin/ and feed paths, which is fine - this is a confirmation, not an edit.
04 Purge caches

Purge caches

If Code23 has a CDN or caching layer in front of the site, purge it - single URL https://londoncollegeofstyle.com/llms.txt if supported, otherwise purge all. No cache plugin was detected in the page source, so if you know of none, skip this.

05 Verify

Verify

  1. Open https://londoncollegeofstyle.com/llms.txt in a private window. Raw plain text - no theme, no header, no Elementor styling.
  2. curl -I https://londoncollegeofstyle.com/llms.txt returns 200 and Content-Type: text/plain. If it returns text/html or forces a download, add an explicit .txt type rule in the server config.
  3. Open all fourteen URLs in the file. Every one must return 200.
  4. All six prices match the live course pages, to the pound.
  5. Accreditation wording matches the rest of the site.
  6. No guaranteed-job, guaranteed-income or client-volume language anywhere in the file.
  7. [DD Month YYYY] placeholder replaced.
