[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] How to edit robots.txt file?

It should be just below .htaccess
If you don’t see it, maybe you don’t have robots.txt in the root.

Ya, I don’t see it. Here is my robots.txt file: https://www.discountqueens.com/robots.txt

What is an easy way to find out where the file is, if it’s not in the root?

I just checked mine again. After selecting SEO > Edit files, robots.txt appears first, .htaccess appears second.

I see that you installed WordPress in the root so everything should work fine. Odd. Are you using the latest version of WordPress SEO?

Yes, here is what I see: https://screencast.com/t/B74WX2fhxP9m

I am using the version 1.1.5 of the plugin, is there a newer one? As for our wordpress install we’re still using version 3.2.1.

Is there another place I should look?

Very strange. I’m sorry, but I don’t have a clue :/

I can help you out as this issue DROVE ME NUTS.

1. I didnt have a Robots.txt
2. I had Yoast installed
3. Im pretty sure it created a Robots.txt even though it doesnt exist in my root (.com/here)
4. My Google webmaster tools shows this

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /cgi-bin
Disallow: /wp-admin
Disallow: /wp-includes
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins
Disallow: /plugins
Disallow: /wp-content/cache
Disallow: /wp-content/themes
Disallow: /trackback
Disallow: /feed
Disallow: /comments
Disallow: /category/*/*
Disallow: */trackback
Disallow: */feed
Disallow: */comments
Disallow: /*?*
Disallow: /*?
Allow: /wp-content/uploads
Allow: /assets

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX THIS ISSUE. Create a Robots.txt and only add this (or whatever you want. I keep it simple and rank well/have no issues at all. You CANT trick google)

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/

1. login to wordpress
2. Click SEO in your side toolbar (Yoast WordPress Plugin settings).
3. Go to edit files under SEO (in the side toolbar)

And now you have the option to edit your Robots.txt file.
