Ads.txt Manager
Edit ads.txt for programmatic ads from WordPress—no file manager required.
Overview
Ads.txt Manager lets you create and edit your site’s ads.txt file from the WordPress admin. The ads.txt file tells programmatic ad buyers which sellers are authorized to sell your ad inventory. If a physical ads.txt file exists in your site root, the module can edit it. If the root is not writable, the module stores content in the database and serves it virtually when visitors request /ads.txt. Manage authorized sellers without FTP or file manager access.
Who is this for?
Publishers using programmatic advertising (AdSense, AdX, etc.) who need to manage their ads.txt file for ad inventory authorization.
Features
Edit ads.txt from Admin
Create or edit ads.txt content in the WordPress admin. No FTP required.
Physical or Virtual File
When the site root is writable, the module writes a physical ads.txt file. When not writable, content is stored in the database and served virtually on /ads.txt requests.
Standard ads.txt Format
Supports the standard ads.txt format (one record per line: domain, publisher ID, relationship, certification authority ID).
How It Works

2
Configure Settings
Open the module settings. Enter or edit your ads.txt content. Save.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does ads.txt need to be?
At the root of your domain: yoursite.com/ads.txt. The module handles this automatically.
What if my root is not writable?
The module stores content in the database and serves it when /ads.txt is requested. No physical file is needed.
Troubleshooting
- ads.txt not showingEnsure the module is enabled and you saved content. Visit yoursite.com/ads.txt directly. Check that your site URL is correct. If using a CDN, purge cache.
