Robots.txt

Edit your robots.txt directly from WordPress admin. No FTP or server access required.

How it Works

If a physical robots.txt file exists in your webroot, THiS SEO reads and writes it directly. If no physical file exists, WordPress serves a virtual robots.txt via a built-in hook, and THiS SEO overrides it with your saved content.

Backup and Restore

Every save creates a backup of the previous version. You can restore the previous version with one click. The baseline hash used for change detection is updated automatically on each save.

PIN Protection

Saving robots.txt requires PIN verification when running the Pro version. This prevents accidental or unauthorized changes to this critical file.

Pro: PIN-protected saves and Cloudflare auto-purge on save are Pro features.

Sitemap Reference

THiS SEO automatically adds a Sitemap: directive pointing to your configured sitemap URL. If you have an existing Sitemap directive in your robots.txt, it will be preserved.

You will be alered if the sitemap url is different from the sitemap url in robots.txt
