Virtual Robots.txt automatically creates a robots.txt file for your site. Your robots.txt file can be easily edited from the plugin settings page.

== Description ==

Virtual Robots.txt is an easy (i.e. automated) solution to creating and managing a robots.txt file for your site. Instead of mucking about with FTP, files, permissions ..etc, just upload and activate the plugin and you're done.

By default, the Virtual Robots.txt plugin has a bunch of spam-bots disallowed, the Google bots specifically allowed, and a few of the standard WordPress folders and files disallowed. If you want to change what appears in your robots.txt file, you can easily edit the contents from the plugin settings page under Settings, Robots.txt in your blog administration.

If the plugin detects an existing XML sitemap file, a reference to it will be automatically added to your robots.txt file.

== Installation ==

1. Upload pc-robotstxt folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Once you have the plugin installed and activated, you'll see a new Robots.txt menu link under the Settings menu. Click that menu link to see the plugin settings page. From there you can edit the contents of your robots.txt file.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will it conflict with any existing robots.txt file? =

If a physical robots.txt file exists on your site, WordPress won't process any request for one, so there will be no conflict.

= Will this work for sub-folder installations of WordPress? =

Out of the box, no. Because WordPress is in a sub-folder, it won't "know" when someone is requesting the robots.txt file which must be at the root of the site.
