Go to settings -> Reading and make sure that the ‘Discourage search engines from indexing this site’ option is unticked.

wow, you’re right. I can’t do it either.

I’m not sure that I understand the question. Please elaborate on the issue.

good question

Does it stop working like that if you disable the plugin?

Well, thing is an XML sitemap does not guarantee visibility in Google in terms of high ranking if that’s what you mean. I’d suggest installing the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin because it also has the XML sitemap functionality plus by a lot shot more.

If you want to rank high in Google and other search engines, you need to build links first. The most surefire way is to guest post on third party blogs, providing them with great content.

Let me know if you need any help.

Here’s what plugins you need for your WordPress site

• Install the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin and initially configure it
• Setup user friendly urls
• Install the WP Robots.txt plugin and set it up in accordance to best SEO practices
• Connect your site to Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools
• Configure your XML sitemap in your SEO by Yoast plugin
• Install a Schema.org plugin

That’s about it.

I’d like to know the solution of the issue as well.

catacaustic pretty much nailed it. Just one more thing. If you want to rank for your nicknames and they are pretty unique, you’re not supposed to have too much competition if any. The other question is if anybody is going to find your site searching for your nicknames. Perhaps, i just got you wrong?

Does it work the same way if you test it on a test server? it’s actually a very weird behaviour.

Is it going to be for one country but with many languages or actually for many countries and with many languages?

I’m not really familiar with the plugin (so forgive me if I’m actually wrong), but according to the official description of the plugin:

This Plugin extends the All in One SEO Pack Plugin (by Michael Torbert) to display the All in One SEO Pack dialog on the Add/Edit Products screen within WooCommerce. Without this Plugin you cannot add/edit/manage All in One SEO Pack meta details which is why I developed this solution.

You can uninstall the regular All in One SEO plugin, but just keep the one for Woocommerce

I agree. The subdirectory option sound more logical and straight forward.

You made my day, Lorenzo. ?? That’s really how it works. Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for your reply. Well, I get that part., but the question remains,” If I tick the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” option, how does search engine knowI did it? I mean which file is used to communicate to the search engine?
