      Hi,

      For some reason 2 pages on my website, time to time get noindex nofollow tags

      they disappear from search engine, i have to log in my thesis wp theme and uncheck box for  "noindex" "nofollow"  and them update, in couple days my website is back up.

      here is screen shot http://screencast.com/t/A6V6tIr2Cb6

      Is that something in thesis theme that cause the problem? even though i

      unchecked the box and updated but its still stays checked

      http://screencast.com/t/TnjDcYfsH4sq

      appreciated for your help!

        hard for anyone to say whether it is the theme, or maybe one of your wordpress plugins or something could be causing this.

        I take it you have the latest version of wordpress installed too, as there could be issues if you do not keep up to date with the latest versions as they regularly update.

        Same goes with the theme, many themes i have regularly update them, which fixes bugs etc.

            Strange one that, especially if it is only 2 pages that this happens too ! You should get on the wordpress forum and ask there, as that is probably the best place to get a quick and honest answer.

            You could have been hacked and a dodgy file left on the website, although i do like wordpress, i believe it is vulnerable to such moves.
