Indexation problems for a Wordpress blog

Hey guys,

I have an very annoying issue.
My Wordpress-blog over at Trovatten.com has some indexation-problem..

Google Webmaster Tools data:
GWT says the following: "Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt." and shows me my homepage and my blogposts..

This is my Robots.txt:
"User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/

Sitemap: "


Do you have any idea why it says that the URL's are being blocked by robots.txt when that looks how it should? I've read a couple of places that it can be because of a Wordpress Plugin that is creating a virtuel robots.txt, but I can't validate it..

What do you think?

  • Try removing the robots.txt file altogether and revalidate it in GWT.

    • I just removed my robots.txt and run a Sitemap-test again.. Same results.. :/.."Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt."
  • Disable all the plugins and try again. That will tell if it's a plugin or not.

    • I just deactivated and I get the same results.. wtf..This is really strange..
    • And just for the record; The "Privacy"-setting in WP is set to: "Allow search engines to index this site."..
  • Did you manage to resolve this? I'm stuck with the same issue!
