Hi Sharen,

Thanks for your email! We understand you're concerned with some pages on your website being blocked by robots.txt yet indexed in Google.

We see that all the links mentioned in the report have URLs that include '?share=twitter', '?share=facebook'. Since these URLs do not appear in the sitemaps, this does not appear to be related to Yoast SEO or the sitemaps you've submitted to Google. We checked the robots.txt file, but there are no rules that block search engine access to those URLs. Could you give us more details about how you're restricting these URLs?

The links may be included in your content or could be generated by another plugin installed on your site or your theme. Do you have any active social share plugins that are adding links with these parameters? It seems you have a Jetpack plugin installed. If so, the plugin may provide another way to prevent search engines from attempting to index those URLs.
```
ME: I am not restricting these URLs. Please tell me if I need to add code to my robots.txt file in my Yoast settings. If there is a conflict with your plugin, please help resolve that issue.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi there, @sharenmcarthurgmailcom,

Your site is well connected with Jetpack, and there is no conflict or issues happening as far as we’re concerned.

I suspect that the blocks in the robots.txt file might be caused by something else we can’t see or check, as this falls beyond our scope of support. Sometimes it’s just about a misconfiguration issue, but I can’t tell it for sure.

I’d suggest reaching out to your host about this, and see if they can help. You may also want to check in the Google support hub in case there is something useful you can try out.

I’m going to mark this thread as solved as it’s out of scope for us. If you have any further questions or need some more help with Jetpack, you’re welcome to open another thread here. Cheers!
