    Well … I guess if it’s true that no where in the WordPress Update is there a way for a pre-existing robots.txt file to be overwritten … then there must be some kind of “something” that Media Temple is doing with their automated updates that keeps overwriting robots.txt.

    Let the finger-pointing begin.

    Thanks for the response Tara … if there’s an official source for that “rule”, I could really use it (WordPress does not include a real robots.txt file to avoid overwriting yours if you have created it) … this would help when communicating with Media Temple about a solution. I have 50+ websites and I don’t want to have to come up with some kind of squirrely fix for their update process.

    Same here … took down one of our sites. I noticed several files had changed around 2:39AM this morning. It overwrote header.php in every single theme directory and produced those tetqwd files that Sue mentioned. I’ve restored all of my themes from backups along with plugins … slowly but surely it’s starting to look like a site again but I’d really like to know how this happened.
