    Hi there,
    Most of the websites with free Yoast access, have theses options to edit Robots.txt and htaccess in tools section, but it’s not the 1st website that misses these features. What Should I do in such cases?
    Hope to hear from you ASAP

    Actually after checking, it appears to be a pro plugin, not free version, I have found access to edit the htaccess but not the robots.txt

    Hi @rozi95

    If you’re not seeing the File editor options in Yoast SEO tools is due to the incompatible permission. Your server doesn’t have the write permission for Yoast SEO to edit the robots.txt and as such you’re not seeing the option. If the robots.txt file is not writable or your WordPress install has disabled file editing, the following steps may fail. Optionally, you can edit at the server level.

    Being said that, if you’ve the Yoast SEO Premium plugin, unfortunately, per the forum guidelines, we cannot answer questions about our premium products. For questions about these products, please contact our support team directly.
