Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ChatBot Blocker by CellarWeb
It's all automatic, but you can see the current virtual robots.txt settings via the Settings page. This is because the virtual file is automatically created by WordPress when the robots.txt file is requested.
Default settings are: > User-agent: * > Disallow: /wp-admin/ > Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php > > Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/wp-sitemap.xml > > # Added by CellarWeb Chatbot Blocker plugin Version 2.00 (3 Mar 2024) (begin) # Blocks ChatGPT bot scanning > User-agent: GPTBot > Disallow: / > # Blocks Bard bot scanning > User-agent: Bard > Disallow: / > # Blocks Bing bot scanning > User-agent: bingbot-chat/2.0 > Disallow: / > # Blocks Common Crawl bot scanning > User-agent: CCBot > Disallow: / > # Blocks omgili bot scanning > User-agent: Omgili > Disallow: / > # Blocks omgilibot bot scanning > User-agent: Omgili Bot > Disallow: / > # Blocks Diffbot bot scanning > User-agent: Diffbot > Disallow: / > # Blocks MJ12bot bot scanning > User-agent: MJ12bot > Disallow: / > # Blocks anthropic-ai bot scanning > User-agent: anthropic-ai > Disallow: / > # Blocks ClaudeBot bot scanning > User-agent: ClaudeBot > Disallow: / > # Blocks FacebookBot bot scanning > User-agent: FacebookBot > Disallow: / > # Blocks Google-Extended bot scanning > User-agent: Google-Extended > Disallow: / > # Blocks SentiBot bot scanning > User-agent: SentiBot > Disallow: / > # Blocks sentibot bot scanning > User-agent: sentibot > Disallow: / > # Added by CellarWeb Chatbot Blocker plugin Version 2.00 (3 Mar 2024) (end) >
We'll add them to the plugin when we find them. And the latest list will automatically be enabled by the plugin. Use the support pages for the plugin for requests.
We recommend using WP standards to add to your virtual robots.txt file.
Use the URL of www.yoursite.com?robots=1 , replacing 'yoursite.com' with your actual site domain name. There is a link on the Settings, Reading screen under the virtual robots.txt box created by the plugin.
The actual file will override any virtual settings. The screen will show a warning message below the display of the virtual settings if an actual file is found in the site's root folder.
The robots.txt file is used by responsbile bots to scan only the files that you want to be scanned. The plugin adds commands to block the AI bots from scanning your site and using your content. There might be some bots that ignore the robots.txt directives. This is not common, but there is no easy way to block those irresponsible bots.
You could, but they won't be effective. There are better ways to do SEO optimization.
Here is a general guide by Google and here is the WordPress SEO documentation.
