robots.txt questions / issue
My client's crappy looking site was on host A and I built a WordPress site on host B. During the construction of his new site on host B I clicked the box under
"Settings << Privacy << ask search engines not to index this site"
Ok now site is finished and I un-checked the box above. I submitted a sitemap.xml file in Google Webmaster Tools and get this warning:
Warnings << Url blocked by robots.txt << Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt
It is showing that my HomePage, about-us page, and the blog page is blocked which is causing all the pages on the site to be blocked.
Ok I rechecked my SEO wordpress plugin by Yoast and none of the pages have the "no index" box checked. The privacy settings box in WordPress is checked "Allow search engines to index this site" and my robots.txt file within Webmaster Tools shows this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
So I don't see anything that is causing the blockage of the bots? Does anyone have any suggestions or run into this issue?
Thanks
