Browse the catalog, see what's installed, and spot subscription issues — all from your own wp-admin. == Description == Manager (by ROBOTSTXT) is a WordPress plugin that customers install on **their own** site. It connects to a remote Plugins Core installation (via REST API + account-level API key) and provides a single dashboard for the ROBOTSTXT plugin ecosystem: * Lists the full plugin catalog with name, type (free/premium), price, and current version. * For each catalog entry, shows the **local install state**: not installed, installed (inactive), up to date, or update available. * One-click actions (Phase 2+): Install free plugins, Buy paid plugins (redirects to checkout on the store site), trigger native WordPress updates. * Subscription health dashboard (Phase 4+): license expiring soon, payment failed, expired — surfaced as admin notices so issues are visible before updates silently stop. This plugin does **not** re-implement the per-plugin update mechanism. Every ROBOTSTXT plugin bundles its own copy of the `Robotstxt_Core_Plugin_Updater` SDK, so updates keep working even if Manager is deactivated. Manager's value is visibility and one place to click. **Phase 1 (current):** Read-only catalog view with local install-state resolution. Settings screen with API key (encrypted at rest), store URL, cache TTL, and connection test. Install/Update/Buy buttons are present but disabled pending Phase 2+. == Using the plugin == = Settings = Configure at **ROBOTSTXT → Settings**: * **Store URL** — Base URL of the remote Plugins Core installation (defaults to `https://www.robotstxt.software`). * **API Key** — Account-level API key issued by the ROBOTSTXT store. Encrypted before storage; masked in the UI (last 4 characters shown). Use the "Test connection" button to verify connectivity. * **Catalog Cache (minutes)** — How long the catalog response is cached in a transient. Default: 60 minutes. * **Data on Uninstall** — Opt-in checkbox. When enabled, all Manager options and transients are deleted on uninstall. Default: off. = Main screen = **ROBOTSTXT → Plugins** shows the catalog table: | Column | Description | |---|---| | Plugin | Name and current version from the store. | | Type | Free or Premium. | | Price | Annual price in EUR, or — for free plugins. | | Local state | Not installed / Installed (inactive) / Up to date / Update available (vX → vY). | | Action | Install / Buy / Update (Phase 2+; disabled in Phase 1). | Click "Refresh catalog" to force a fresh fetch from Core. == Extra Configurations == No extra `define()` constants are required in `wp-config.php`. All configuration is done via the Settings page in wp-admin. == Installation == = Automatic download = Visit the plugin section in your WordPress, search for Manager (by ROBOTSTXT); download and install the plugin. = Manual download = Extract the contents of the ZIP and upload the contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/robotstxt-manager/` directory. Once uploaded, it will appear in your plugin list. Go to **ROBOTSTXT → Settings** to configure the Store URL and API key. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Is this plugin compatible with WordPress Multisite? = No. This plugin is intentionally not compatible with WordPress Multisite, matching the architecture of the rest of the ecosystem. = What PHP version is required? = PHP 8.4 or higher. = Do I need Plugins Core installed on my site? = No. Plugins Core runs on the ROBOTSTXT store site. This plugin talks to it remotely via REST API. You do not need Core, Mollie, or Sync installed locally. = How is the API key stored? = Encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC with a key derived from your site's WordPress `AUTH_KEY` and `AUTH_SALT` constants. Never stored in plaintext, never logged, never exposed in any response. == Compatibility == * WordPress: 4.7 - 7.1 * PHP: 7.4 - 8.5 == Changelog == = 0.1.3 = _Release date: 2026-08-12_ * Composer PHP requirement aligned to scan floor (>=7.4). = 0.1.2 = _Release date: 2026-08-12_ * Documentation refresh: readme.txt and changelog.txt aligned to the standard templates.
