  I have not touched my privacy settings but robots.txt has blocked Google from indexing my site for 4 years. How do I get rid of it? I’m using a free plan but I need a Business plan to install plugin to change the codes for robots.txt. What should I do?

  Here is what appears on https://limecalex87.wordpress.com/robots.txt:
