 * After update my robots.txt is looking like this
 * User-agent: *
    Disallow: /
 * Of course google can’t index it, but the problem is that even if I edit file 
   in tools, it is still the same, even if I clear cache, and view in Tor. In my
   host I’ve deleted the file, but nothing helped. any sugesstions?

 * First, go to “Settings” then “Reading” then “Search Engine Visibility” and ensure
   you do not have a check in that box.
 * If you do not, and have deleted the file at the hosting level, and it comes back
   then you sincerely need to have a talk with your host. Either you have a plugin
   that is writing that or you have a hosting problem.

   is OK.
