FAQ Schema & AI FAQ Generator is a free WordPress.org plugin that serves an llms.txt at your site root and rebuilds it when your content changes. It is on by default. You choose which post types go in, exclude single items and add your own links, and pages marked noindex in Rank Math, Yoast, SEOPress or All in One SEO, or protected by a password, are always left out. No API key is needed. Google says Search ignores files like this, so treat it as an optional extra.
Checked on Nov 10, 2026. What we tested: the llms.txt this plugin serves on answerschema.com, which ran version 1.12.0 at the time (1.12.1 only renamed the plugin), fetched once and saved. What we did not test: the per-language files for Polylang and WPML, because this site has one language.
What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a proposed convention from llmstxt.org: a Markdown file at the root path /llms.txt of a website that lists its main pages with short descriptions. The site itself calls it a proposal.
What does the plugin’s llms.txt look like?
Here are the first lines of the file on this site. The response was status 200, type text/plain; charset=utf-8, 4,095 bytes, with 17 links.

## Pages
- [Free FAQ Schema Plugin for WordPress and AI Search](https://answerschema.com/): FAQ Schema & AI FAQ Generator: a free WordPress plugin with an FAQ schema block, answer scoring, llms.txt and AI crawler control.
- [Blog](https://answerschema.com/blog/): Guides on AEO, FAQ schema, llms.txt and AI crawlers for WordPress site owners who want to be cited by AI search.
Each link uses the page’s excerpt as its summary. When there is no excerpt, the plugin uses the SEO meta description from Rank Math, Yoast, SEOPress or All in One SEO, and then a trimmed piece of the content.
What can you control in the llms.txt settings?
- Post types: choose which ones are listed.
- Exclusions: leave out single items by ID, URL or path.
- Custom links: add pages the automatic list misses.
- Always left out: items marked noindex in Rank Math, Yoast, SEOPress or All in One SEO, and items protected by a password.
- llms-full.txt: optional and off by default. It holds the text of the same pages, capped at 20,000 characters per page and about 2 MB in total.
- Multilingual sites: with Polylang or WPML, each language that has its own directory or domain gets its own file, such as
/de/llms.txt, linked from the main one; languages that share the main URL are listed in the main file instead.
Does llms.txt help you rank or get cited by AI?
Not in Google. Google’s AI optimization guide says that machine-readable files and AI text files “will neither harm nor help your site’s visibility or rankings in Google Search, as Google Search ignores them.” We don’t claim it raises AI citations anywhere else either. The plugin keeps it on by default and lets you switch it off.
How do you set it up in WordPress?
- Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for FAQ Schema & AI FAQ Generator, click Install Now, then Activate.
- Open yoursite.com/llms.txt in a browser. The file is served right away.
- To change what is listed, go to Settings → AI FAQ Schema and use llms.txt contents.
- Check the file with our llms.txt Validator and Generator.
If a real llms.txt file already sits in your web root, the server sends that file instead, and the settings page warns you about it. A 404 at /llms.txt has other causes too; we list them in llms.txt 404 in WordPress.
Get it on WordPress.org. The same plugin is also a free AI FAQ generator and an AI crawler blocker.
FAQs
Is this llms.txt plugin free?
Yes. FAQ Schema & AI FAQ Generator is free on WordPress.org under the GPLv2-or-later license, and the llms.txt feature needs no API key or account.
Do I have to rebuild llms.txt after I publish a post?
No. The plugin rebuilds the file automatically when your content changes.
Will llms.txt improve my Google rankings?
No. Google says its Search ignores AI text files such as llms.txt, so the file neither helps nor harms rankings in Google Search. Treat it as an optional extra.
Does it work on multilingual WordPress sites?
Yes, with Polylang or WPML. The main llms.txt lists the default language and links to one file per language that has its own directory or domain, for example /de/llms.txt. Languages that share the main URL are listed in the main file instead.
