Hi all,

I was wondering if this has happened to someone before...

I am trying to submit my sitemap to Webmastertools it says it cant crawl my site because it is restricted by my robots.txt.

My websites robots is:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

And google is telling me it's

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Pretty frustrating.

Its a wordpress site, I have checked the privacy setting under Settings and its fine

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Pete

    If that is the whole thing, just delete the file, otherwise recreate it.

    I also had a problem like this once, dam it was fustrating

    Try what has been suggested, creating a new site map might be the answer. Also check in the domains root file on your hosting account and see if there is a robots.txt file there - if there is then delete it.

    Hope that helps you
