## Description

Generative AIs (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Mistral, etc.) are scraping millions of articles
every day, without authorization, control, or revenue for publishers.
 **Senthor
for WordPress** allows you to take back control:

 * Real-time detection of AI crawlers.
 * Selective blocking or authorization.
 * Monetization of each AI request as a new revenue stream.
 * Dashboard with detailed statistics.

This plugin connects your WordPress site to your Senthor account.
 Once activated,
your content is monitored and protected in the background without modifying your
site.

### External service

This plugin uses the **Senthor API** to provide protection against AI scraping.

**What Data is Shared?**
 – IP address – HTTP headers – Request URI

**Why is This Service Used?**
 This data is used **solely for AI detection purposes**
and is **not shared with any third parties**.

**Terms and Privacy Policy**
 For more details, review Senthor’s [Terms & Privacy Policy](https://www.senthor.io/privacy).

**Opt-Out or Disable**
 – By default, the API analysis is **disabled**. – You can**
opt-in** via the **Senthor.io plugin settings**. – You can **opt-out at any time**
by clicking **“Revoke consent and disable API”** in the plugin settings.

### Why Senthor?

Senthor was created to address a simple fact: publishers and content creators are
losing control in the AI era.
 Every day, their articles are used to train or feed
models without consent or compensation.

With Senthor, you finally decide who can access your content and you turn this traffic
into a **new revenue stream**.

Our mission: to ensure that publishers are **protected and paid** when AI uses their
work.

## Installation

 1. Upload and install the plugin via the WordPress _Plugins_ screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu.
 3. Go to [Senthor.io](https://www.senthor.io) and create a free account.
 4. Add your domain (e.g. `www.yoursite.com`) in your Senthor dashboard.
 5. Check the **“WordPress site”** option for that domain.
 6. Stats and protections will start working immediately.

## FAQ

### Do I need a Senthor.io account?

Yes. The plugin acts as a connector between your site and Senthor.io. An account
is required to activate detection and view your data.

### Does this block Google or regular search engines?

No. By default, Senthor allows legitimate crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.). You
keep full control over which bots are allowed or blocked.

### Is it free?

You can test Senthor with a free trial account. Paid plans unlock monetization and
advanced features.

### Will this slow down my site?

No. The plugin works in the background and does not add visible latency for your
visitors.

 [dcamille20](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dcamille20/) 10 сар 14, 2025

Very quick installation, clear interface, and precise options to block AI crawlers
without impacting Google indexing. Exactly what I needed !!!!

### 󠀁[Clear insight into AI crawlers, SEO-safe controls, 3-minute setup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-insight-into-ai-crawlers-seo-safe-controls-3-minute-setup/)󠁿

 [tberguer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tberguer/) 10 сар 14, 2025

Installed on a WordPress 6 via the plugin. Setup took ~1 minutes: upload ZIP  activate
Create account on the website. No conflicts with our theme or other plugins. What
stood out: The dashboard finally shows who is reading our pages from AI crawlers(
GPTBot, Perplexity, Claude, etc.), with hour-by-hour cadence and top pages. Controls
are simple: allow, rate-limit or block per bot without touching search engine indexers.
Our SEO stayed intact after enabling rules. Performance: no noticeable latency and
page cache kept working. Clarity: the distinction between classic search bots and
generative-AI crawlers is explicit, which reduces the risk of breaking indexing.
Wishlist for future versions: per-section policies, webhooks/data export, and notifications
on spikes. But as it is today, this plugin already solves the hardest part – visibility–
and gives practical, safe controls. Verdict: If you rely on human traffic or advertising
and want facts before taking action, this is a solid, well-built tool. Five stars.
