  • WordPress

    1. Install/Activate SEO Plugin: If you don't already have one, install and activate a trusted SEO plugin like Yoast SEO or Rank Math.

    2. Navigate to Editor: In your WordPress dashboard, go to the plugin's settings. Look for Tools → File Editor (for Yoast) or General Settings → Edit robots.txt (for Rank Math).

    3. Add AI Disallow Code: In the robots.txt editor, add the following two lines of code to block Google's dedicated AI training bot:

    - User-agent: Google-Extended

    Disallow: /

    4. Add Other AI Disallow Codes (Optional but Recommended): To block other major AI models, also add:

    - User-agent: GPTBot

    Disallow: /

     - User-agent: Claude-Web

    Disallow: /

    5. Save Changes: Click the Save or Update File button in the plugin editor. This finalizes the block, prohibiting AI training while permitting standard Google crawling.
