[Support request] Google crawl errors

[David]

I have 103 crawl error from Google, and all relating to images.

I’ve set the picture’s link to “none”, but the problem persist.

On google, I think it’s something with the robots.txt?

Hi there,

This shouldn’t be something the theme is doing. Your robots.txt file doesn’t seem to be targeting any images either.

What’s the error you’re getting? Are you sure the errors are recent and not leftover from a previous theme?

Hi Tom,

I’m not sure, but it’s possible. This is an error from google’s URL inspection from a post last month.

This is the URL

Availability Blocked by robots.txt
URL is not available to Google
It cannot be indexed.

Crawl allowed? No: blocked by robots.txt
Page fetch Failed: Blocked by robots.txt

I would contact your hosting about this, as the actual robots.txt file I can see isn’t blocking images. It’s possible that it’s being blocked on the server-side of things.

[David]

The hosting confirmed it’s not from them and saying could be SEO plugin (either yoast or jetpack).

I’ll continue narrowing down the possibilities.

Thanks Tom

No problem – hope you find it 🙂
