Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
When asking ChatGPT about something on our website (Odoo v17 Online Enterprise Edition), mainly blog posts, it states that the page returned an internal server error (500). However, when browsing the same page with a browser, everything works as expected.
The robots.txt file allows all traffic, the sitemap is fine (according to Google Search).
This prevents the content we create from getting picked up bij AI
Anybody else noticed this? Any tips on how to fix this?
TIA
UPDATE: Yesterday, I explicitly added "Allow: /blog/" to my robots.txt file, and now ChatGPT seems to be able to read all blog articles. I'm not sure whether this solved the issue or not, but I have no clue what else it could be. Anyway, thank you for your time.
Hi,
On Odoo Online v17, a 500 internal server error occurs when AI or bots request blog pages, while normal browsers work fine. This is usually due to differences in request headers, lack of session/cookie data, or Odoo’s security measures that block automated requests. To make content AI-accessible without custom code, you can use RSS feeds or API endpoints, simulate browser-like requests with proper headers, or contact Odoo support for assistance, since you cannot modify server behavior on Odoo Online.
Hope it helps
