Where is robots.txt in Wordpress?

Question

linux

Good afternoon. Given a site on WordPress, I type the domain site.ru/robots.txt - in it

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

I climb via ftp, robots.txt is at the root

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin        
           
Disallow: /search           
Disallow: /author/          
Disallow: *?attachment_id=  
Disallow: */trackback
Disallow: */feed            
Disallow: */embed      
#Disallow: /wp/             

Host:  www.site.ru

How to remove Disallow from all search engines?

Answer 1

It is possible that SEO plugins are installed that replace robots with their own. Then you can try to pick it up from the plugin settings. Or yes, there are problems with setting up the server and robots are issued from another place / project.

Answer 2

Wordpress has nothing to do with it, it's something with the server configuration (Apache/nginx).

Answer 3

Many are looking for robots for a long time, especially when it is not physically there (the file itself). Here it is written how to find robots txt - https://site-for-yourself.rf/wordpress/robots-txt-dlja...

Answer 4

When you find where to edit the robots.txt file in your WordPress, I invite you here: https://dampi.ru/pravilnyiy-robots-txt-dlya-sayta-... I just described in detail everything that needs to be done. For those who like to shove anything into robots: if you open uploads for all bots, then uploaded PDF and other text files appear in the index. And in Yandex webmaster, in the "Excluded pages" report, error messages appear when indexing pictures, saying that the content is not supported. Before writing and giving advice, did you try to analyze the messages of GSC and YaWebmaster?
