This plugin will warn you should you have blocked search engines in your blog. If you then move the database from your developmental site to your live installation, or change your blog’s domain URL, then the warning will reappear, and not move until you have either unblocked search engines or made the plugin aware you have changed domains. It’s designed to help stop you accidentally blocking your live WordPress installation from search engines. #### About Winwar Media This plugin is made by [**Winwar Media**](http://winwar.co.uk/), a WordPress Development and Training Agency in Manchester, UK.
