 * Hi guys i’m currently getting ‘Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.
   txt.’
 * I’m using a sitemap plugin named ‘[Google XML Sitemaps](http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/)‘.
 * My robots .txt contents are
 *     ```
       User-agent: *
       Disallow: /privacy
       Disallow: /prices
       Disallow: /pay-invoice
       Disallow: /cancellations-and-returns
       Disallow: /tag
       ```
   
 * I would assume I could just remove the links from the sitemap but there are no
   options to do so in the plugin.
 * All I need the robots file for is to block the ‘tags’ pages are they’re duplicate
   content and the pages privacy, prices, pay-invoice, cancellations-and-returns
   as I have them pages on another site with the same content.
