   Hello,

   Is it normal I see this ?

   <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" /><meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

   In my WordPress I don't want the robots to index my page so I suppose this is OK. But before, is the theme adding the robots meta twice ?

   Thanks.

   Hey,
   you can solve this robots conflict by editing header.php - open it up and delete following code:
   

   if ( ( is_single() || is_page() || is_home() ) && ( !is_paged() ) ) {
           echo '<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />' . "\n";
   } else {
           echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow" />' . "\n";
   }

   Then go to wp admin panel settings > Privacy and choose the search engine option you like (robots follow "yes" if you want to allow search engines and crawlers or "no" if you don't want to allow them).
