This means they haven't been affected by the change you have just made to the *SEO common* partial. **You will have to manually edit the robots stack in both of those pages.
- In RW navigate to the Home page in edit mode and open the SEO Pen stack right below the "Step #1 guide".
- Open the Pen stack and double click on the SEO common partial to open it.
- Select the Robots stack inside of it and enable both Index Site and Follow Links in the stack inspector. Exit the partial
