Hey @thewebsmiths,
we’re sorry for the problem you are experiencing. We are trying to reproduce the issue to investigate.
Can you check whether Yoast SEO has been updated to 25.3 in your sites?

Hi @lopo
Yes, I believe the option to activate llms.txt is only available after updating to 25.3
Hi @thewebsmiths, can you share a screenshot of the status tab of your site health info from WordPress > Tools > Site Health > Status. Thanks.

Hi @maybellyne
It says:
‘Your llms.txt file couldn;t be auto-generated
You have activated the Yoast llms.txt feature, but we couldn’t generate an llms.txt file.
It looks like there aren’t sufficient permissions on the web server’s filesystem.
This was reported by the Yoast SEO plugin’
WordPress Business hosting.
Thanks for sharing. We are investigating internally and will update you as soon as possible.
Hi
I found a temporary workaround that worked. Due to the way that ABSPATH works on WordPress.com and Pressable, ABSPATH returns to a symlink that contains just the core files and no write permissions.
In this case, on the file src/llms-txt/infrastructure/file/wordpress-file-system-adapter.php, editing the function get_llms_file_path_() works:
private function get_llms_file_path(): string {
return trailingslashit(dirname(WP_CONTENT_DIR)) . 'llms.txt';
}
Hello All,
Thanks for your patience while we investigated the issue. We are aware of some web server permission issues peculiar to sites hosted on WordPress.com. A fix has been developed and will be released in a couple of weeks.

Thank you.
I’ve used the workaround from @badtux and look forward to the next update implementing a proper fix.
It’s always permission issues with WordPress.com hosted sites. Grrrr. We will wait for a fix, again.
