I’m having the same issue. What is ‘the reset’ tool ? Reset the db? wp db or mlp db? and how?

Thanks.

I had the same problem until I entered the authors code at the very end of the functions.php file. Not sure why that matters but it did for me.

Richard, good point about not wanting search engines to crawl those other directories you mentioned.

I believe my robots.txt is the default that either wp generated, or that wp generated and the WPSEO plugin modified. In either case, its not allowing access to my sitemap (which the plugin also generated) according to google webmaster… so i dont understand at all what is going on.

I didnt have this problem with previous versions of WP in combo with this plugin… and I’m assuming this is all related to the issues you bring up in this thread and what you are experiencing… am I off?

Just as reference to robots.txt issues, here is one article from the author himself from earlier this year:
https://yoast.com/example-robots-txt-wordpress/

I am experiencing what I believe is the same problem. Using latest wordpress version and latest WPSEO. Google webmaster is telling me that it cant parse my sitemap_index.xml because ‘URL restricted by robots.txt’

robots.txt is generated by wp, no? when I go to my https://site/robots.txt file, I see:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/

… which looks ok to my untrained eye. Its not allowing robots to crawl anything under the admin and include directories, right? So anything under the root of the site, including the xml file, should be accessible, no?

thanks,
