In reply to: Do i need to add a robots.txt fileIs it possible in your Dashboard, under Settings –> Reading –> Search Engine Visibility box was checked? This would cause the robot.txt file to have created the line Disallow: /
If this box is checked, Google in most cases will respect that and not crawl the site. Perhaps this was the issue and I hope this helps.

In reply to: Moving from wordpress.com with bad permalinksAlways hard to say if/how things will be affected depending on Google and other search engines. If you want to change the permalinks, I’d consider following this tutorial to see if you want to go through the process. I think you’ll want to create redirects if you do change the current permalink structure to another structure. Hope this article helps with what you’re trying to achieve.

In reply to: 404 – if I go direct. Works if I go from within websiteIf the link is related to Google Adwords, going direct may return a 404, because the link will likely only work if it’s clicked on from the site if I’m understanding your question correctly. Hope this helps.
This might be a little tricky depending on your themes setup, but if you want to remove images sizes, you could look in your theme for the functions.php file. Typically in this file there will be a line add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
Below this you’ll usually see a list of image sizes being generated. If you want to remove some of the additional size you can comment out the line by adding a // like below
// add_image_size( 'post-thumb', 75, 55, true );Do the // before each size you don’t want. Hope this helps with your issue.

In reply to: Url's have changed causing 404 errorsHave you tried disabling all plugins? Try to do that first and then enable them one by one to see if one of the plugins your using is causing the issue with the urls.
You may also want to try to save the permalinks again to see if that helps flush out the issue.
Hope one of these two solutions helps.
From my experience, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple months for Google to index new sites. You can submit your site to Google to help try and speed up the process but it’s really up to Google when and how they index sites.
Also you may want to check that your site is open to search engines. You can check this by logging into your dashboard, got to Settings–>Reading–>Search Engine Visibility and make sure the box is not checked and then click save.

In reply to: Can't upload media/pictures in my postsHave you tried deactivating all the plugins rather than deleting them. I would disable all plugins and test again to see if it works. If it works with all the plugins deactivated, try activating the plugins one by one to see if one of them may be causing a conflict with your theme. Hope this helps.
