Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Block Archive.org via WordPress robots.txt
We created this plugin to be able to append the lines to block the archive.org bots via robots.txt without having to upload a robots.txt file.
No. The plugin doesn't write any options or settings to the database.
Install and activate. Have a look at the content of the robots.txt file in root of the domain.
You can simply activate, deactivate or delete it in your plugin management section. There are no options stored in the database so you can delete it also via FTP and everything will be removed.
If you activate the plugin it will add some lines to the robots.txt file to tell the Archive.org bots not to crawl and index your page. This means that they won't store a backup of your site and you won't be able to browse the different versions of the website through time. If your site is present on Archive.org and you activate this plugin, be aware that the Archive.org bots won't be able to access the site and in the end will delete it from their index. If this is not what you want to do, do not activate this plugin.
This plugin makes changes to the virtual robots.txt file generated automagically by WordPress and doesn't work with a physical robots.txt file. In order to use this plugin you need to remove the physical robots.txt file from your server. Please delete the robots.txt file via FTP or Server Panel before using this plugin. We check this on activation. If we find a physical robots.txt file the plugin can't be activated until the file is removed. Please keep in mind that we only check it on plugin activation and after activation we don't check it any more; so if you upload a robots.txt file to the root of the domain once the plugin is activated, the plugin will have no effects but you will not receive a warning.
WordPress must be installed in top-level directory of the web server. Please note that the robots.txt must be in the top-level directory of your web server. If WordPress is installed in a subdirectory this plugin will not be effective because the robots.txt file generated by WordPress in the subdirectory will be ignored by the bots. Please note that we don\'t check this. You can read more about the robots.txt standard here robotstxt.org: How to create a /robots.txt file and Where to put it.
Please don't use it with WordPress MultiSite, as it has not been tested. The plugin has similar functionality as the Virtual Robots.txt and the Better Robots.txt ? Index, Rank & SEO booster plugin; both are not compatible with our plugin as they remove all the virtual WordPress robots.txt content and create their own. The directives our plugin creates are not added to the robots.txt file these plugins generate as they don't use the standard functions of WordPress to append information to them.
