 * Hello,
    I created the robots.txt file like this(actually it was automatically
   created with the help of seo by yoast plugin) – User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/
 * But when I checked my robots.txt file by writing in the browser(www.mysite.com/
   robots.txt),it looked like this –
    User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/
 * It was written in just one single line.I think it might create some problem while
   crawling and indexing.How could I fix it?
    Please Help.

 * I recommend asking at [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * You could turn the feature off in Yoast and then login to your cpanel, head to
   your file manager and create your own robots.txt
 * I’m not sure it will have a negative affect on your website but if you’re concerned
   then you can just create your own.
