<p>This plugin adds lines to the virtual robots.txt file that WordPress creates automagically if the file is not present physically on the server to block the OpenAI ChatGPT-User bot that is used by plugins in ChatGPT to crawl websites. Here is the <a href="https://platform.openai.com/docs/plugins/bot" rel="nofollow ugc">information about the ChatGPT-User bot</a>. It also blocks the the <a href="https://platform.openai.com/docs/gptbot" rel="nofollow ugc">GPTBot user agent</a> that may potentially be used to improve future models.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Please be aware of what this plugin does exactly: If you activate the plugin it will add some lines to the robots.txt file to tell Open AI Chat GPT bots (ChatGPT-User + GPTBot) to <strong>not to crawl and index</strong> parts of this website.</p>

<h4>What can I do with this plugin?</h4>
<p>This plugin adds the necessary lines to the virtual robots.txt file that WordPress creates automagically to block the OpenAI ChatGPT-User bot that is used by plugins in ChatGPT to crawl websites + the GPTBot user agent that may potentially be used to improve future models.</p>
<h4>What ideas is this plugin based on?</h4>
<p>None. After the launch of the OpenAI ChatGTP plugins that crawl websites, we needed a fast solution to add these lines to the robots.txt file and this was the solution we coded.</p>
<p>In August 2023 OpenAI added information about the GPTBot so we added this user-agent to the plugin.</p>
<h4>What is the robots.txt file?</h4>
<p>The robots.txt file is a plain text file located at the root folder of a domain (or subdomain) which tells web crawlers (like Googlebot) what parts of the website they should access and index.</p>
<p>The first thing a search engine crawler looks at when it is visiting a page is the robots.txt file and it controls how search engine spiders see and interact with the web pages.</p>
<h4>System requirements</h4>
<p>PHP version 7.4 or greater.<br />
We require 7.4 or higher because we believe that everybody should be running a modern PHP version. When releasing this plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/" rel="ugc">WordPress recommends PHP 7.4 or higher</a>. We would recommend 8.0 or higher as 7.4 has no security updates since 28 Nov 2022.</p>
<h4>How to get this plugin in your Language!</h4>
<p>The first release is avaliable in English and Spanish. In the “languages” folder we have included the necessary files to translate this plugin.</p>
