    This plugin helps, but creating robots.txt on the server and it prohibit other plugins to customize robots.txt . For example, you cannot even add sitemap: record.

    In calss-wpie-general.php, this tries to add filter to robots_txt hook, but it’s still in is_admin() block. That means no effect.

    To stop generating robots.txt, you need removing hook.

    // Some where in your theme or after plugins_loaded action
if ( class_exists( 'wpie\core\WPIE_General' ) ) {
	remove_action( 'admin_init', [ 'wpie\core\WPIE_General', 'update_file_security' ] );
}

    I hope the plugin author changing mind to generate dynamic robots.txt .

    Hi,

    Thanks for valuable information

    robot.txt is required to prevent indexing on search engines. so we have added by default for the same reason.

    Many plugin users ask us to remove it. so we are adding a dedicated setting to manage this. it will not generate by default. we will release update soon

    Let me know if you have any questions

    Thanks and have a nice day
