Does any one know who to resolve. I am using Rapid Weaver 8
I had a similar error with the generated sitemap. Couldn’t work out how to resolve it in RW so went to this site and generated a new site map for my published site and then replaced the one on the server. Worked fine after that, I just have to remember to copy the file over again after I have published it, or run it again if I have changed the actual layout etc.
Woops. Maybe I am wrong. The link you posted is for the robots.txt file. In the Page Inspector under Meta Tags do you have Enable Robot Meta Tags ticked?
