Admin Robots.txt Editor provides a secure WordPress admin interface for editing the site’s robots.txt file.

The plugin supports both:

  • A physical robots.txt file in the WordPress installation root.
  • WordPress’s built-in robots_txt filter when a physical file does not exist.

Features:

  • Edit and save robots.txt from the WordPress dashboard.
  • Reset the file to a sensible WordPress default.
  • Uses the official WordPress robots_txt filter.
  • Uses WordPress nonces and capability checks.
  • Uses the WordPress filesystem API with a controlled fallback.
  • Provides a default WordPress sitemap URL.
  • Prevents a public robots file from allowing crawling when WordPress search-engine visibility is disabled.
