Settings & Tools

Settings tab

The Settings tab in CitedPro → Settings contains all global configuration options for the plugin.

Global SEO

Configure how CitedPro handles SEO meta output across your site:

• Title templates: Set default title tag patterns for posts, pages, and archives using template variables
• Title separator: Choose the character that separates your page title from your site name (e.g., |, -, »)
• Homepage title: Set a custom title tag for your homepage
• Homepage description: Set a custom meta description for your homepage
• Twitter card type: Choose between summary and summary_large_image for Twitter/X card display

Data retention

Control how long bot tracking and LLM referral data is stored:

• Range: 30 to 365 days
• Default: 365 days
• A daily cron job automatically deletes records older than this setting

Schema injection

Toggle the Enable Schema Injection setting to control whether CitedPro outputs JSON-LD structured data on your pages. When enabled, CitedPro injects Organization, LocalBusiness, or Person schema based on your business setup. See the Schema Injection documentation for details.

File locations

Choose where CitedPro generates its AI discovery files:

• Root directory: Files are created in your WordPress root (e.g., yoursite.com/llms.txt). This is the recommended option.
• Uploads directory: Files are created in wp-content/uploads/cited/ and served via virtual URL rewriting. Use this if your root directory is not writable.

Debug logging

Enable debug logging to capture detailed information about CitedPro's operations. Logs are useful for troubleshooting issues with file generation, bot detection, or API communication. Logs can be viewed and downloaded from the Tools tab.

License management

Manage your CitedPro license from the Settings tab:

• Activate: Enter your license key and click Activate
• Deactivate: Release this site's license slot so it can be used elsewhere
• Revalidate: Force a license check against the API (normally runs automatically every 30 days)
• License info: View your current tier (Personal, Business, or Agency), associated email, and expiration date

Tools tab

The Tools tab in CitedPro → Tools provides import/export utilities and maintenance actions.

Import settings

Upload a JSON file to restore all CitedPro plugin settings. This is useful for migrating settings between sites or restoring from a backup.

1. Click Choose File and select a previously exported JSON file
2. Click Import
3. All settings in the file will overwrite your current configuration

Export settings

Download all current CitedPro settings as a JSON file. This creates a complete backup of your plugin configuration that can be imported on another site or saved for safekeeping.

SEO plugin import

Access the one-click import from other SEO plugins. This links to the same import functionality described in the SEO Import documentation.

Generate demo data

Creates sample analytics data (bot visits and LLM referrals) for testing purposes. This is useful for previewing how the dashboard and analytics tab look with data before your site accumulates real visits.

Clear analytics

Delete all tracking data from the wp_cited_bot_visits table. This removes all bot visit records and LLM referral data. Your settings and business profile are not affected.

Factory reset

Removes all CitedPro data and settings, returning the plugin to a fresh install state. This deletes:

• All plugin settings and options
• All business profile data
• All tracking and analytics data
• All generated files
• All per-post SEO metadata

Debug mode

Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting. When active, CitedPro logs operations like bot detection, file generation, API calls, and license validation. Logs can be viewed directly in the Tools tab or downloaded as a text file to share with support.
