How to remove 'noindex,nofollow' ?

Jay Rhome · 10-14-2009, 06:12 PM

When I put my in Google Webmaster tools, it said 36 pages - all of them - showed the "restricted by robots" error.

Indeed when I look at page source, I see this:
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

That can't be good for SEO right

Well, I searched file after file for the script that caused this but didn't find it.

It's a Word Press theme I ordered...

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks

My privacy settings (in the wp-admin area) were set to disallow SE to index my site...

I then found out another one of my WP sites had this setting also...

If you have WP sites, you 'd better double check!

Damn it! What's the next thing I have to verify?

You can verify by double-checking the source code again. This time, the "noindex, no follow" should be gone
