I am using Yoast SEO. I have verified my site in my Google Webmaster Tools. One day I will see thousands of pages indexed in my webmaster tools and the next day it says pending without me resubmitting the sitemap. It will then stay pending for weeks.
If I type site:usadojo.com it shows 6,850 pages are indexed and Google Indexed Pages Checker shows that 6,860 pages are indexed. Why does no data show in Google Webmaster Tools and when I Google search individual pages, few show up in Google?
Also what needs to be put in my robots.txt file for your theme. I am seeing very strange links to php files and php error codes in the Newspaper 7 theme on my website that should not be showing up in a Google searches.
Please advise. Thank you!
Hi,
The website SEO optimization has to be made through the Yoast SEO plugin that you are using. The theme does not have any options in this matter, or does it require modifications for the robots file. It also depends on google as well. You can search for website SEO optimization guides and follow the steps and configurations closely. Here is a link to the official Yoast site optimization tutorial

Also a guide for the robots file optimization

I have inspected your website and I do not see any errors present. The website is working properly from what I can tell.
Thanks
I know how to use Yoast’s program. That is not the issue. I have over 30 sites using Yoasts SEO plugin and I have never had any issues like this with any of my websites. I just can’t figure out why all data appears and disappears constantly in my Google Webmaster Tools.
Hi,
I do not know how the theme could be causing this issue you are having with the Webmaster Tools data. Maybe you should ask for assistance as to why this could be happening and possible solutions here

This might have happened to others and they could provide you useful advice.
Thanks
