robots.txt

Hi All, Though I had never checked it earlier, the concern was raised after I changed my hosting. Recently, Google Console has not been indexing my site, and its sitemap has also not been read since the last few weeks. I am getting robots blocked and redirection error messages too. When I...

google reports the following error back to me : Blocked by robots.txt file Excluded by "noindex" tag In the meantime I have set the most important directories to "allow". I am now not quite sure if I have forgotten something ..or am I on a completely wrong path? Thanks for a possible...
