Install

The author publishes release zips, so WP-CLI can install straight from GitHub:

wp plugin install https://github.com/sashmarin/juliepr-robots-txt-disallow/releases/download/juliepr-robots-txt-disallow%401.0.0/juliepr-robots-txt-disallow-1.0.0.zip

Readme

Juliepr robots.txt Disallow

WordPress plugin that adds Disallow: / rules for selected crawlers to the virtual robots.txt generated by WordPress.

Use

  1. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Open Settings → robots.txt Disallow.
  3. Add one User-Agent name per line, then save.

For example, entering GPTBot creates:

User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /

On Multisite, the setting is stored per site. Network activation is supported; each subsite administrator with the manage_options capability configures its own list.

Uninstalling

The saved list is retained by default. To remove it, enable Delete settings when the plugin is deleted before deleting the plugin. In Multisite, this choice and the deletion are evaluated separately for every site.

Localization

English is the source language. Russian translations are included as a .po source catalog and a WordPress 6.5+ PHP translation file (.l10n.php). No .mo file is shipped.

Notes

This only changes WordPress's virtual robots.txt response. If a physical robots.txt exists in the site's document root, the web server may serve that file instead.
