=== 5Names LLMs.txt Manager === Contributors: javdgraaf Tags: llms.txt, ai, seo, chatgpt, ai-optimization Requires at least: 5.8 Tested up to: 7.1 Requires PHP: 7.4 Stable tag: 1.0.0 License: GPL-2.0+ License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Manage your site's llms.txt file — the AI equivalent of robots.txt — straight from the WordPress dashboard. == Description == **5Names LLMs.txt Manager** lets you manage the `llms.txt` file for your WordPress site directly from the dashboard. A product by [5Names](https://5names.nl). `llms.txt` is a proposed standard (see [llmstxt.org](https://llmstxt.org)) for a Markdown file in your site's root that gives AI language models (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity) a concise, structured overview of your site: who you are, which pages matter, and where to find more information — similar to what `robots.txt` does for search engine crawlers, but written for and readable by an LLM. = How does it work? = The plugin generates `/llms.txt` from two sources, each of which you can toggle independently: 1. **Automatically from your WordPress content** — choose which parts are included automatically: your site tagline as an intro quote, published pages, categories with their recent posts, and any custom post type your site uses. 2. **Manual sections** — your own `## Section` blocks with links and short descriptions, for anything that can't be generated automatically. On save, the plugin combines both sources into a single Markdown file and writes it via `WP_Filesystem` (with a `file_put_contents` fallback) to `llms.txt` in your site's root. A **live preview** always shows you the result before you save. = Importing an existing llms.txt = Already have an `llms.txt` file (e.g. created by hand)? On activation you'll get a notice, and **Import existing file** reads the file and automatically converts it into sections, links, and a description (including multi-line blockquotes) — so nothing gets lost and you can carry on with the visual editor right away. = Source editor = Prefer to edit the Markdown directly? The **Source** tab lets you edit the text directly and save it without touching the visual settings. Note: saving from visual mode overwrites manual source edits with the generated content again. = Automatic backups = Every save writes the previous version of `llms.txt` to a protected folder (`wp-content/llms-backups/`, with an `.htaccess` file that blocks direct access). The last 10 versions are kept; older ones are removed automatically. **Version history** lets you restore an earlier version with one click. = Sitemap detection = Enable the "Sitemap" option and the plugin adds an `## Optional` section with a link to your sitemap. It automatically detects whether Yoast SEO or RankMath is active (and uses `/sitemap_index.xml` in that case), otherwise it falls back to the built-in WordPress sitemap (`/wp-sitemap.xml`). = Webhook after saving = Optional: provide a URL that receives a GET request after every successful save. Handy for clearing a CDN cache (like a Cloudflare Purge URL) whenever `llms.txt` changes. == Installation == 1. Upload the `5names-llms-txt-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. If a `/llms.txt` file already exists: click **Import existing file**. 4. Go to **Settings → LLMs.txt** to configure the file. == Frequently Asked Questions == = What exactly is llms.txt? = A proposed standard for a Markdown file at `/llms.txt` that gives AI language models a concise overview of your site. See llmstxt.org for the full specification. = Do I need write access to the site root? = Yes, the plugin needs to be able to write to `ABSPATH` (the WordPress root folder). If it can't, the plugin shows a clear notice with the action to take (`chmod 755` on the folder). = What happens to my llms.txt if I delete the plugin? = The file itself stays in place — the plugin doesn't delete it on uninstall. Only the saved settings (`fivenames_llmtxt_settings`) and any activation notice are cleaned up. Backups stored in `wp-content/llms-backups/` are also left in place. = Does this work with custom post types? = Yes. Every public, non-built-in custom post type on your site appears as a separate checkbox under "Auto-generate", with its posts included as a section in the file. = Does this plugin send any data to external services? = No. Everything runs locally on your own server. The only outbound request the plugin makes is the optional webhook you configure yourself (e.g. to purge a CDN cache) — nothing is sent anywhere unless you explicitly set that up. = Does this work with multisite? = The plugin activates per-site like any standard plugin; each site in a multisite network manages its own `llms.txt` file and settings independently. == Screenshots == 1. Settings page — choose what gets auto-generated (pages, categories, custom post types). 2. Live preview of the generated llms.txt file. 3. Source editor tab for direct Markdown editing. 4. Version history — restore a previous backup with one click. 5. Import flow when an existing llms.txt file is detected. == Changelog == = 1.0.0 = * First release as a general-purpose 5Names plugin (decoupled from site-specific integrations). * Import existing llms.txt (multi-line blockquotes, all sections and links). * Activation notice when an existing file is found, with a direct import button. * Webhook option after saving. * Source editor tab (direct Markdown input). * Sitemap detection (Yoast, RankMath, WP core). * Permission check with a clear error message. == Upgrade Notice == = 1.0.0 = First release.
