Please open another topic with the second issue, it will be easier to help each other out like that.
Related to the robots file, you don’t need google to get a robots file to work
You just need to add the robots.txt file to the root of your install.
Like, if your WordPress website is my-site.com then place your robots txt file at my-site.com/robots.txt
This is done by placing it in the FTP on the same level as your wp-config.php file is, for example (or .htaccess file, or wp-admin folder and such “root” components)
In the robots file itself you can add something like this:
# All Bots
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
# SemRush
User-agent: SemrushBot
Disallow: /
Sitemap: https://www.my-site.com/sitemap.xml
This will for example block semrush bots, direct the bots towards your sitemap if you have one, and set some allow/disallow rules for general access to folders/files on your install.
I myself do not use Google console as it will not really increase any form of traffic and usually just signifies more work for not much profit.
However, if you need it, you might want to start here to validate your robots file:

Hope this helps!
Thanks Beda,
I did sort out the second issue.
In regard the robots.txt file, I did write it in the Seo plugin.
This is what I wrote:
“User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/
Sitemap: https://example.com/post-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: https://example.com/page-sitemap.xml”
Why I was concern about Google, as because, when I Google my website I get below the finding:
“No info for this website” learn why.
If then I click on learn why, it make me go through the domain verification (done it), and the robots.txt configuration.
Anyway, I also have been told to wait, as this may happens because Google didn’t index my website yet.
Thanks again.
