Meerkat Markdown for AI Visibility collects URLs using WordPress queries and generates an llms.txt file (short for “Large Language Models”) in the website’s root directory — optionally providing dynamic .md files — to help AI-based systems better understand and make use of the site’s content. The llms.txt is stored in the root directory. You can configure the number of URLs, set a minimum word count, and exclude specific categories or tags. File generation can be triggered manually or scheduled to run automatically.
Features
- Gathers URLs with WordPress queries; the
wp-sitemap.xml URL is only added to llms.txt as metadata.
- Creates
llms.txt with [Title • host/path](URL): content entries.
- Add a custom site description to the file header.
- Limit export to 100 entries or process all URLs.
- Posts or pages with fewer than 15 words are skipped: they do not count toward
the 100-entry limit and are omitted from
llms.txt.
- Choose 30, 50, 100 words or the full text per entry.
- Exclude categories and tags.
- Sort
llms.txt entries by popularity or most recent first.
- Optionally serve dynamic
.md files for published posts, pages and public custom post types. Responses include canonical, noindex and MIME-sniffing protection headers.
- Generates a valid XML sitemap for Markdown URLs without declaring
llms.txt as a sitemap or blocking it in robots.txt.
- Manual generation via the Generate Files Now button.
- Timezone-aware WP-Cron schedule (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or disabled) with configurable local run time and daylight-saving-safe rescheduling.
- Save settings with the Save Changes button.
4.2
- Protects existing
llms.txt files: files not owned by this plugin are neither overwritten nor removed during uninstall.
- Manages only a clearly marked plugin block in
robots.txt and preserves all unrelated directives.
- Supports dynamic Markdown URLs with plain WordPress permalinks through query-based endpoints.
- Propagates failed write, delete, permission and directory operations instead of reporting false success.
- Removes dynamic Markdown rewrite rules reliably when the feature or plugin is disabled.
- Corrects the settings description for canonical and X-Robots-Tag headers.
- Updates repository metadata and moves older release notes to changelog.txt.
- Regenerates the translation template from the current source.
- Renames plugin classes and methods to WordPress-compatible naming conventions and normalizes formatting.
- Prevents shortcodes from being executed twice during llms.txt generation.
- Validates sitemap XML before accepting a fallback endpoint.
- Stages and rolls back generated files so failed sitemap generation does not partially update llms.txt.
4.1
- Adds a defensive DOMNode guard clause to the HTML-to-Markdown parser.
- Prevents PHP warnings when an unexpected or null node is passed to the recursive node processor.

Major improvements
Security

- Drafts, private posts and password-protected content are no longer exposed through
.md URLs.

- Uses safe remote requests, validates AJAX permissions and adds canonical, noindex and MIME-sniffing protection headers.
Generation, sitemaps and scheduling
- Supports public custom post types and Elementor, Divi and Avada content.
- Generates a valid Markdown XML sitemap and removes obsolete robots.txt directives.
- Processes large sites in batches and validates root, upload and filter values.
- Uses timezone-aware calendar scheduling for hourly, daily, weekly and monthly runs.
- Cleans generated data, options, cron events and legacy robots.txt entries on uninstall.
