 * Hi,
 * I´am wondering why I have a new entry in my robots.txt: “Allow: /wp-admin/admin-
   ajax.php”
 * It looks like:
 *     ```
       User-agent: *
       Disallow: /wp-admin/
       Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
       ```
   
 * I haven`t put it there. Page name is handangeln .de
 * Any reason to be worry about?
    Thanks and best regards,
 * Chekki

 * That is the contents of the default WordPress robots.txt Virtual file that is
   created by WordPress now (when the “Discourage search engines from indexing this
   site” option is **not** checked in your Reading Settings, and pretty permalinks
   are turned on).
 * The – `Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php` – was added. Some discussion can be found
