    Hi there,

    I have never had any issues with my blog indexing, I have gone to index a new blog tonight and got this messages on search console; No: blocked by robots.txt

    I have checked my other blogs which say indexed, when I click re-index it’s saying the same No: blocked by robots.txt.

    On the backend of rank math it displays data from 6th Feb last, I haven’t changed anything and no idea what to do, please help!

  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I tested the robots file and it looks perfectly fine. Would you please share the affected URL?

    Also, I saw that the sitemap is being cached. It’s advisable not to cache it. With the cache plugin used, please follow this step to exclude sitemap from getting cached : https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/#w3-total-cache

    Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

    Thank You

    Thank you for your help, and I have fixed the caching on the sitemap.

    I changed nameservers yesterday which caused issues (to ezoic) I have since changed them back, do you think this could have caused the issue and it will revert back? I tried indexing the following and I am getting the blocked message.https://www.sleek-chic.co.uk/2023/02/blue-and-grey-kitchen-ideas.html

    Thanks,
    Nicole
