humans.txt is an initiative for knowing the people behind a website. It’s a text file that lists the people who contributed to building the site – developers, designers, and others. Think of it as the opposite of robots.txt: robots.txt is for machines, humans.txt is for people.
MTDEV Humans TXT lets you create and edit your site’s humans.txt file straight from the WordPress dashboard, without touching code or uploading files over FTP.
The file is served virtually at your site root (https://your-site.com/humans.txt) through rewrite rules, so it needs no write permissions and no physical file is created. It also adds the recommended rel="author" link to your site’s <head>, pointing to your humans.txt file.
Features:
- Content editor with a default template based on the standard (TEAM, THANKS, SITE).
- Virtual
/humans.txtserved astext/plain. - Option to enable or disable the
<head>link. - No physical files, multisite friendly.
- Makes no external server calls.
- Translation ready (text domain
mtdev-humans-txt).
