  1. Better Robots.txt 3.1.6Latest

    • Improved mobile layouts and keyboard navigation in the Free and Pro settings screens.
    • Made AI policy choices and paid crawler controls easier to operate with a keyboard and on touch screens.
    • Fixed narrow-screen text clipping, notification overlap, and the visibility of save controls.
    • Clarified how Fy2Press combines WordPress content with a Shopify catalog and checkout, including setup and subscription requirements.
    • Isolated the Better Robots.txt Fy2Press card from other plugins that load the shared promotion component.

  2. Better Robots.txt 3.1.5

    • Added an optional Fy2Press discovery card after the plugin settings, with local images and direct links without tracking.
    • Remember dismissal per user and site across participating PAGUP plugins; hide the card when Fy2Press is installed.

  3. Better Robots.txt 3.1.4

    • Updated Freemius SDK to the latest version

  4. Better Robots.txt 3.1.3

    • Updated the bundled Freemius WordPress SDK from 2.13.1 to 2.13.4 and refreshed its locked dependency for current pricing, payment-history currency, API-timeout, PHP compatibility, and add-on checkout fixes.
    • Added a contextual PAGUP Agent Control section with practical WordPress AI-agent task examples and explicit access-level guidance.
    • Updated the 10 bundled admin locales for the new ecosystem and prompt strings.

  5. Better Robots.txt 3.1.2

    • Fixed Free edition AI Search policy handling so the global allow/block choice is respected during preview, save, and robots.txt generation.
    • Updated the default AI posture to block AI training crawlers while allowing AI search and discovery crawlers.
    • Rebuilt AI crawler classification around training, search/discovery, and user-action fetchers.
    • Added Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, and Perplexity-User handling in the operational AI crawler taxonomy.
    • Corrected OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot classification so they are not treated as training crawlers.
    • Corrected ChatGPT-User classification so it is treated as a user-action fetcher, not an AI search crawler.
    • Corrected AI2Bot classification so it is treated as data, training, and research collection, not AI search.
    • Added a one-time admin notice for existing Free installs whose AI Search policy may have been forced to block_all by earlier 3.x behavior.
    • Improved Free/Pro/Premium UI labels for AI crawler controls.
    • Fixed package version metadata for 3.1.2.
