[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] robots.txt doesn't seem to be changing

i am getting the same issue.. for a temporary fix could someone paste the correct robots.txt content, so we can create a similar manual robots.txt file?

I thought this plugin excluded robots with the meta robots tag rather than a robots.txt file?

how would i go about checking that has worked? i looked in source at meta tags, i dont see much hinting at anything working.. maybe if someone could post accurate code i can search??

If you ticked the box to stop indexing something, the html should show
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"/>

Here’s an example of the tag archives being noindex on one of my sites:
