#9482 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

is_home() returns true for the robots.txt handler

Reported by: johnbillion's profile johnbillion Owned by: markjaquith's profile markjaquith
Milestone: 2.7.2 Priority: normal
Severity: normal Version: 2.7.1
Component: Canonical Keywords: robots.txt is_robots is_home, is_front_page has-patch

Description

If your site does not have a robots.txt file and example.com/robots.txt is requested, WordPress kicks in and generates a robots.txt file for you.

The problem is that is_home() returns true at this point when it shouldn't. This can cause problems with plugins/themes that hook into the template_redirect hook and then redirect or alter output based on the is_home() conditional.

The end result is that a site can be outputting a complete page when example.com/robots.txt is requested, instead of the plain robots.txt file.

Also affects is_front_page() where applicable.
