It’s a text file that lists the people who contributed to building the site – developers, designers, and others. Think of it as the opposite of robots.txt: robots.txt is for machines, humans.txt is for people. MTDEV Humans TXT lets you create and edit your site’s **humans.txt** file straight from the WordPress dashboard, without touching code or uploading files over FTP. The file is served **virtually** at your site root (`https://your-site.com/humans. txt`) through rewrite rules, so it needs no write permissions and no physical file is created. It also adds the recommended `rel="author"` link to your site’s ``, pointing to your humans.txt file. Features: * Content editor with a default template based on the standard (TEAM, THANKS, SITE). * Virtual `/humans.txt` served as `text/plain`. * Option to enable or disable the `` link. * No physical files, multisite friendly. * Makes no external server calls. * Translation ready (text domain `mtdev-humans-txt`).
