_Release date: 2026-08-24_

Changed

Manager (by ROBOTSTXT) detection now uses the ecosystem presence constant ROBOTSTXT_MANAGER_NOTICED, defined by Manager 1.6.2+ when it loads. When the constant is absent (older Manager versions), detection falls back to scanning the installed plugin list and checking whether the Manager entry is active, covering both single-site and network-wide activation.
 Minimum PHP version raised from 5.6 to 7.0: the detection method now declares a bool return type, which is PHP 7.0+ syntax. The main plugin file carries a PHP version guard, so sites on older PHP get an admin notice instead of a fatal error.

Compatibility

  • WordPress: 4.0 – 7.2
  • PHP: 7.0 – 8.5
  • MariaDB: 11.8 (staging)

Tests

  • PHP Coding Standards: 3.13.6
  • WordPress Coding Standards: 3.4.1
  • PHPStan: 2.2.9 with wp-compat (Requires at least 4.0)
  • PHPUnit: 9.6.36 (plugin header tests included, line coverage 89.8%)

1.2.5

Release date: 2026-08-18

Fixed

  • The Hello menu item is now registered at position 1000 instead of PHP_INT_MAX. Positions are array keys in the WordPress menu array, and on WordPress 4.0-6.4 two top-level items registered at the same position overwrite each other, silently removing one of the menus. PHP_INT_MAX is one of the most popular “bottom” values in the ecosystem, so collisions were likely; 1000 sits past the last core separator (99), keeps the item at the bottom of the menu, and WordPress 6.5+ resolves any remaining collision automatically.

Compatibility

  • WordPress: 4.0 – 7.1
  • PHP: 5.6 – 8.5
  • MariaDB: 11.8 (staging)

Tests

  • PHP Coding Standards: 3.13.6
  • WordPress Coding Standards: 3.4.1
  • PHPStan: 2.2.8 with wp-compat (Requires at least 4.0)
  • PHPUnit: 9.6.36 (plugin header tests included, line coverage 88.5%)

1.2.4

Release date: 2026-08-18

Highlights

  • Automatic updates are now handled by the ROBOTSTXT ecosystem: the bundled auto-updater was removed in favor of Manager (by ROBOTSTXT).

Added

  • Dismissible notice on the Plugins screen (single site and network) when Manager (by ROBOTSTXT) is not installed and active, with a link to its plugin page.
  • Permanent, non-dismissible notice on the plugin settings page when Manager (by ROBOTSTXT) is not available.
  • Setting to remove plugin data on uninstall. Data is preserved by default unless the user explicitly opts in.
  • Uninstall routine that honors the data-removal setting.

Changed

  • Author, contributor order and plugin URLs now point to the ROBOTSTXT software site (https://www.robotstxt.software/).
  • Restored the real minimum requirements after a full-range compatibility review: WordPress 4.0+ and PHP 5.6+.

Removed

  • Bundled JSON-based auto-updater (robotstxt-updater.php) and update.json.
