 * I am trying to edit the Yoast Robots.txt file, however when I go to Yoast in 
   admin, then tools, no “file editor”?

 * Hello [@grahamg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grahamg/),
 * Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. It indeed includes the ability to [create and edit the robots.txt](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-edit-robots-txt-through-yoast-seo/)
   file for your site when your site meets the following requirements:
    1. **Enable file editing**, which is the default option for most WordPress installs
    2. Set server-level permissions to **allow writing to files**, specifically the
       robots.txt file.
 * As you do not see the option to create or edit the file, WordPress has [disabled file editing](https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/#disable-file-editing),
   or your server doesn’t allow writing to the file. Your web host can help you 
   enable these features if you want to use Yoast SEO to edit the robots.txt file.
 * To enable the file editing, you need to contact your hosting provider or developer
   for assistance because you need to edit the _wp-config.php_ file using FTP due
   to the following directive being contained in your _**wp-config.php**_ file:
   `
   define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );`
