About IntentDeep Virtual Files
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
Virtual Files lets you create and manage robots.txt, ads.txt, app-ads.txt, security.txt, llms.txt, RSS feeds, and JSON files directly from your WordPress dashboard. These files can be created at any path depth (yoursite.com/robots.txt, yoursite.com/.well-known/security.txt, yoursite.com/llms.txt, yoursite.com/api/data.json) and behave just like physical files, but are stored in your database—no FTP access required.
🤖 AI-Ready Content Generation
Connect your own AI models to generate, improve, and analyze virtual file content. Use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Qwen, GLM, and 30+ other AI models. Simply add your API key and create perfect robots.txt, proper ads.txt files, compliant security.txt, AI-friendly llms.txt, and more—all with AI assistance. Attach posts, pages, or products as context for more relevant generation.
The Problem
Managing robots.txt, ads.txt, app-ads.txt, security.txt, llms.txt, .well-known files, and other server files traditionally requires FTP access, correct file permissions, and manual directory creation. For managed hosting or multiple sites, this becomes a maintenance nightmare.

Troubleshooting
Virtual file returns 404
- Go to Settings → Permalinks and click “Save Changes” to flush rewrite rules
- Verify file status is set to “Active” in Virtual Files dashboard
- Check that no physical file exists with the same name
- Ensure permalinks are enabled (required for virtual routing)
Changes don’t appear immediately
- Clear site cache (if using WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, etc.)
- Clear browser cache (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R)
- Pro users: Check cache TTL settings in Virtual Files → Settings
- Verify file is set to “Active” status
Conflicts with existing physical files
Virtual files take precedence over physical files with the same name. To serve physical files instead:
– Set virtual file status to “Inactive”, OR
– Delete the virtual file from the dashboard
Privacy Policy
Virtual Files does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All file content is stored locally in your WordPress database.
AI Features: When using AI-powered features (Generate, Improve, Analyze), your prompts and any attached context are sent to the AI provider you’ve configured in settings. Virtual Files does not store or analyze this data beyond what’s necessary for the generation. Each AI provider has its own privacy policy and data handling practices that you should review.
