Robot.txt file Help!

by SoEasyMoney

I have about 5 websites that I can't indexed with Google because a "robot.txt" file is prohibiting access. These are all WP sites.

I've researched and found someone you can remove the robot.txt file somehow. However, I can't find the stinkin file to remove it.

Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Thanks in advance!

    If they are WP sites, most likely they don't have a robots.txt file but in the head section they have the meta tag noindex,nofollow...

    Check the Settings > Privacy and make sure it is set to allow search engines to find you.

    Thanks Pension. I did change the privacy settings and they were actually set to not allow the crawlers. I'll go in and look at the meta tags and see what's there.

    When you change those settings... the "forbidding" meta tags will disappear which means no need to mess with the meta tags.
