02 Upload it
Upload it to the WordPress root
- Connect over SFTP or open your host's file manager.
- 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.
- Upload
llms.txt into that directory, alongside index.php. Not /wp-content/, not a subfolder.
- 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.
- Rank Math › General Settings › Edit robots.txt.
- 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
- Open
https://londoncollegeofstyle.com/llms.txt in a private window. Raw plain text - no theme, no header, no Elementor styling.
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.
- Open all fourteen URLs in the file. Every one must return
200.
- All six prices match the live course pages, to the pound.
- Accreditation wording matches the rest of the site.
- No guaranteed-job, guaranteed-income or client-volume language anywhere in the file.
