Whizz People

<p><strong>Whizz MD</strong> automatically creates a <code>.md</code> version of every published post and page on your WordPress site, served dynamically without storing any files on disk.</p>
<p>AI-powered search engines and LLM crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot) increasingly prefer clean, structured content. This plugin gives them exactly that — a Markdown file with rich YAML frontmatter containing all your SEO signals, served at a predictable URL like <code>/your-post-slug.md</code>.</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Any published post or page automatically gets a <code>.md</code> endpoint</li>
<li>AI crawlers discover it via a <code><link rel="alternate"></code> tag in your page <code><head></code>, a dedicated <code>/md-sitemap.xml</code>, and crawlable anchor links in your page content</li>
<li>The Markdown is generated on the fly — no files written to disk, no database bloat</li>
<li>Full YAML frontmatter is included with all SEO metadata</li>
</ol>
<h4>What Gets Generated</h4>
<p><strong>YAML Frontmatter includes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>title</code> — SEO title (from Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, or post title)</li>
<li><code>slug</code> — post slug</li>
<li><code>date</code> and <code>modified</code> — publication and last modified dates</li>
<li><code>author</code> — author display name</li>
<li><code>meta_description</code> — SEO meta description (from SEO plugin or auto-generated)</li>
<li><code>focus_keyword</code> — primary keyword (from Yoast/Rank Math)</li>
<li><code>canonical_url</code> — points back to your HTML page</li>
<li><code>og_title</code> and <code>og_description</code> — Open Graph fields</li>
<li><code>og_image</code> — featured image URL</li>
<li><code>schema_type</code> — auto-detected (Article, HowTo, FAQPage, WebPage)</li>
<li><code>categories</code> and <code>tags</code></li>
<li><code>reading_time</code> and <code>word_count</code></li>
<li><code>robots</code> — respects your SEO plugin’s noindex settings</li>
<li><code>lang</code> — site language (WPML/Polylang compatible)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Markdown Body includes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>H1–H6 headings with anchor ID preservation</li>
<li>Bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code</li>
<li>Fenced code blocks with language detection</li>
<li>Ordered and unordered lists (nested)</li>
<li>GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) tables</li>
<li>Blockquotes, images with alt text, links (relative <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> absolute)</li>
<li>Gutenberg block HTML stripped cleanly</li>
</ul>
<h4>URL Patterns</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>/your-post-slug.md</code> — clean pretty permalink</li>
<li><code>/parent/child-page.md</code> — works with nested pages</li>
<li><code>/?p=123&format=md</code> — query string fallback</li>
</ul>
<h4>AI Crawler Discovery</h4>
<p>The plugin automatically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds <code><link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"></code> to every page <code><head></code></li>
<li>Registers <code>/md-sitemap.xml</code> listing all <code>.md</code> URLs</li>
<li>Appends explicit <code>Allow: /*.md</code> rules to <code>robots.txt</code> for all major AI crawlers</li>
<li>Injects a crawlable <code><a></code> link on each page so robots can follow it naturally</li>
</ul>
<h4>SEO Plugin Compatibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>✅ Yoast SEO</li>
<li>✅ Rank Math</li>
<li>✅ All in One SEO (AIOSEO)</li>
<li>✅ WPML</li>
<li>✅ Polylang</li>
<li>✅ Gutenberg (Block Editor)</li>
<li>✅ Classic Editor</li>
</ul>
<h4>No Duplicate Content Risk</h4>
<p>The <code>.md</code> endpoint serves <code>Content-Type: text/markdown</code>, not <code>text/html</code>. An HTTP-level <code>Link: rel="canonical"</code> header points back to the original HTML page, and <code>X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow</code> prevents Google from indexing the raw Markdown as a competing webpage — while still allowing AI crawlers to read it.</p>
<h4>Why This Matters</h4>
<p>LLMs and AI search engines crawl the web to build their knowledge. Clean, structured Markdown with rich YAML frontmatter is the ideal format for these systems to parse, index, and cite your content — giving you organic visibility in AI-powered search results, summaries, and citations.</p>

<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>
