ericS-63	Background of the issue: I'm using WPML in domain mode with multiple domains and Rank Math Pro to manage robots.txt. Right now, WPML and Rank Math only serve one global robots.txt for all domains. I need each domain to have its own robots.txt with its own sitemap URL, for example: hidden link and hidden link. Symptoms: WPML and Rank Math only serve one global robots.txt for all domains. Questions: Is it possible to have a separate robots.txt per domain in a single-site WPML setup? If yes, how should this be implemented?
