User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /wp-admin/

But still it is showing same error.. i deactivate plugin and resubmit the sitemap but still no luck.. please help..:confused::confused:

    Since it's Wordpress, I'd suggest using "Google XML Sitemaps" plugin.

    Uninstall (and delete) ALL other sitemap plugins and install above.

    This should generate a sitemap on yoursite(dot)com/sitemap.xml, which should work perfectly.

    Otherwise, check that your robots.txt isn't maybe blocking GoogleBot

    Check the Wordpress privacy settings. Chances are Wordpress is set to block googlebot activity.

    The robots.txt file that you have quoted may bot be what the Google robots see. Wordpress could have modified the access to the robots.txt file, so when googlebot comes it gets served the results of a php file rather than the physical robots.txt you have created.
