Description

Filter the contents of robots.txt. Instead of using an actual robots.txt file, WordPress responds to requests for /robots.txt itself and offers the chance to filter the response and add or remove rules.

<?php add_filter( 'robots_txt', 'filter_function_name' ) ?>

Parameters

$output
(string) (required) The generated robots.txt
Default: None
$public
(bool) (required) "false" if Search Engine Visibility is set to "Discourage search engines from indexing this site"
Default: None

Examples

Instruct search engines not to index the post at http://example.com/hello-world

add_filter( 'robots_txt', 'example_block_hello_world', 10, 2 ); 	 	 
function example_block_hello_world( $output, $public ) {	 	 
    $output .= "\nDisallow: /hello-world";
    return $output;	 	  	 	 
}

Source File

robots_txt is called from do_robots(), located in wp-includes/functions.php
