 * Hello,
 * I am using the latest version of wordpress and Google XML sitemap. Whenever I
   access robots.txt, I get the following message:
 * _404 Not Found_
 * nginx/1.4.6
 * Is this somehow related to this plugin?
 * Thanks for your time. It’s much appreciated.

 * Hi,
 * the robots.txt file is generated by WordPress, not the plugin. If WordPress generates
   this file, the plugin will add one line to it. But for this, the basic process
   has to work.
