    Hey guys,

    I am using WordPress Seo by yoast plugin on my site and to create xml sitemap and submit it to Webmaster Tools.

    After creating the sitemap and submitting it to google I am getting a warning that says “Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt.” I don’t have robots.txt file on the server but it is created on the fly (I guess) because when I visit mydomain.com/robots.txt it exists and it has the following code in it.

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
    Disallow: /wp-includes/

    If I am not wrong this code only means to disallow wp admin and wp includes dir.

    But on webmaster tools Google is giving me 15 warraings and it includes all the actual posts and pages of the site and not the wp-admin or something..

    WP – 3.5.2
    Seo Plugin – 1.4.13

    Am I doing something wrong here?
