How It Works:

The interface includes helpful examples, real-time textarea sizing, and a direct link to view your live robots.txt file.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All settings are stored locally in your WordPress database and are only used to generate your robots.txt file.

-
Does this plugin create a physical robots.txt file?
-
No, this plugin works with WordPress’s virtual robots.txt functionality. It modifies the virtual robots.txt file that WordPress generates automatically.
-
Will my custom rules override WordPress’s default robots.txt?
-
By default, no. In Append Mode (default), your custom rules will be added to the existing robots.txt content, and WordPress’s default rules will remain intact. However, if you enable Replace Mode, your custom rules will completely replace WordPress’s default robots.txt.
-
What’s the difference between Append Mode and Replace Mode?
-
- Append Mode (Default): Your custom rules are added to WordPress’s existing robots.txt
- Replace Mode: WordPress’s default robots.txt is ignored, and only your custom rules are used
-
Can I switch between modes?
-
Yes, you can toggle the „Replace Mode“ checkbox in the plugin settings to switch between append and replace modes at any time.
-
What happens if I have privacy settings enabled?
-
If your site is set to discourage search engines (Settings > Reading > Search Engine Visibility), the plugin will respect this setting and won’t add custom rules since the entire site is already disallowed.
-
Can I add any type of robots.txt directive?
-
Yes, you can add any valid robots.txt directive including User-agent, Disallow, Allow, Crawl-delay, and Sitemap directives.
-
How do I test my robots.txt file?
-
You can view your robots.txt file by visiting yourdomain.com/robots.txt in your browser. The plugin also includes a direct link to view your live robots.txt file. You can also use Google Search Console’s robots.txt Tester tool.
-
What happens when I uninstall the plugin?
-
When you delete/uninstall the plugin, all custom rules and settings will be completely removed from your database. Your WordPress site will revert to using the default WordPress robots.txt. If you only deactivate the plugin (without deleting), your settings will be preserved for when you reactivate it.
-
Is this plugin compatible with caching plugins?
-
Yes, the plugin works with all major caching plugins. Since robots.txt is generated dynamically by WordPress, your custom rules will be included regardless of caching.
-
Can I use this with multisite installations?
-
Yes, the plugin works on both single site and multisite WordPress installations. Each site in a multisite network can have its own custom robots.txt rules.
-
Does this plugin affect website performance?
-
No, the plugin has minimal impact on performance. It only runs when the robots.txt file is requested and uses WordPress’s built-in filtering system efficiently.
