    One of my websites is set to noindex and I cannot get it to change. It is a wordpress.org site with Jetpack installed on it. When I access the Reading settings via wpadmin, the checkbox to ‘Discourage search engines….’ box is UNCHECKED. When I manage the site via wordpress.com, the box is CHECKED and no matter how many times I change it and hit save, it is still reverting back to blocked. Someone please help as my site has fallen out of the rankings entirely. The site in question is http://www.opusenergy.com.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,
    http://www.opusenergy.com is a self-hosted website and hence you shouldn’t be able to manage it from WordPress.com. The same goes with nomadmomdiary.com. Any updates you make to your WordPress.com account will only affect the sites that are hosted with WorPress.com
