    Hi there!

    These days there are so many AI Bots out there. Only a handful of them are really good for your site and for ranking. Most of the bots only scan your site for there purpose and steels your info. Like the Meta bots, they are scanning my site 20 times a day and they ignore robotext that blocks them from scanning your site. This don’t work:

    User-agent: meta-externalagent
    Disallow: /

    Can’t you create a function where a person can block or allow some bots.

    Hi there

    Thanks for bringing this up. You are definitely not the only one seeing more aggressive AI crawler traffic lately.

    That said, I want to be honest: stopping or selectively managing AI bots is not really the core scope of WP Security Ninja right now. The plugin is built around broader WordPress security and firewall protection like blocking known bad IPs, login abuse, country-based blocking, and similar malicious traffic patterns.

    So while I understand exactly why you are asking, I would not want to overpromise and make it sound like we currently have a dedicated AI bot allow/block feature, because we do not.

    Still, it is a fair suggestion, and I appreciate you raising it.
