Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt.

I have a site www.classicalacupunctureherbs.com that Im having an issue with the sitemap and robots.txt. In a google search for the site, there is no description with the result and it says "A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt". I checked in search console and it says that robots.txt is blocking my url. It lists the following is being blocked:

Value: http://www.classicalacupunctureherbs.com/category-sitemap.xml Value: http://www.classicalacupunctureherbs.com/page-sitemap.xml Value: http://www.classicalacupunctureherbs.com/post-sitemap.xml

I've used the robots.txt tester and it shows no errors and says everything is allowed. I've tried deleting robots.txt and creating a new one through Yoast SEO, and tried the Google XML sitemaps plugin as well and got the same results.

My robots.txt file currently says: User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/ Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Does anyone know why this is occuring or how to fix it?
