Description

Admin Robots.txt Editor automatically creates a default robots.txt file (if missing) and provides a user-friendly interface to edit it from the WordPress dashboard.

Features:

  • Automatically generates robots.txt with default SEO-friendly rules
  • Simple admin panel to view and edit contents
  • Option to reset to default content
  • Fully editable using a WordPress textarea field
  • No need for FTP or file access
  • Uses the official robots_txt hook (recommended by WordPress.org)

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/admin-robots-txt-editor/, or install it via the WordPress Plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings > Robots-txt to edit the file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the robots.txt file already exists?

The plugin uses the WordPress robots_txt filter and does not directly overwrite your physical file.

Does it require a sitemap plugin?

No, but it automatically references your default sitemap if one exists (like from Yoast or RankMath).

Where can I find the robots.txt editor?

In the WordPress admin under Settings > Robots-txt, or directly in the sidebar as “Robots-txt”.
