 * I tried everything suggested but it still doesn’t work. Google bot keeps ignoring
   the robots.txt file. Any other suggestions?

 * It is saved as UTF-8. For example this line is being blocked successfully:
 * Disallow: /*.php$
 * But I would really need to block page, tag, author, category… because they keep
   showing in search results…
 * When I test with Webmaster Tools it says:
 * Allowed
    Detected as a directory; specific files may have different restrictions

 * It gives errors mostly regarding “*” sign. But there are no errors about tag 
   or page directories and google bot still ignores them.

 * Thank you. I was hoping to do it without the plugin. Is there a code that I could
   put in functions?
