    Hi!

    If you take a look at my website - www.howtojumphighertodunk.com and pull up the source, you'll notice in the meta "robots" a noindex, nofollow. I have NO CLUE how that got in there, but more importantly, I have no clue how to get rid of it...? Do you have a solution?

    I'm running the Thesis Theme and SEO All In One Plugin, which doesn't seem to have an effect if I disable or not.

    Thanks!

    Check your theme files. Go to the theme editor, and check out the header.php file

    Jay -

    I checked it...and it doesn't show anything in there. Here's whats in the header.php...

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    
    <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
    
    <title><?php thesis_output_title(); ?></title>
    
    <?php 
    wp_head();
    thesis_hook_header();
    ?>
    
    </head>
    
    <body<?php thesis_body_classes(); ?>>
    
    <div id="container">
    <div id="page">
    
    <?php thesis_nav_menu(); ?>
    
    	<div id="header">
    <?php
    thesis_show_title();
    thesis_show_tagline();
    ?>
    
    <center><?php include("header_ads.php"); ?></center>
    
    	</div>

    ok well its being made by either a plugin or the thesis theme
    change
    <?php 
    wp_head();
    thesis_hook_header();
    ?>
    PHP:
    to
    <?php 
    wp_head();
    echo '<!-- split -->';
    thesis_hook_header();
    ?>
    PHP:
    and save it. When you refresh, is the code before or after the <!-- split --> in the source code. If it's before, it's another plugin, otherwise it's the thesis theme which is causing it. if there's a file called functions or something similar in the thesis theme files check that and see if you can find it

    Just a basic troubleshooting.
    Login to your wordpress dashboard and go to Settings > Privacy.
    See if following box is checked or not. If no, check it and save the settings. :)

    Thanks! That seemed to work. I've never had a website with that setting on off before. Weird.
