I recently found out that this theme has been generating all kinds of errors. I researched and found a thread here that started earlier this year. The last resolution mentioned two options, 1) moving the index.php file to the root or, 2) disallowing index.php in the robots.txt file. None of the thread contributors commented after that post in August and then Kriesi just posted a random hey at the end in November. I would like to know if those solutions worked or what we need to do. I have to trash this theme and start over if it cannot be crawled without issues. Please advise.
Server Error
…./wp-content/themes/enfold/
Googlebot couldn’t access the contents of this URL because the server had an internal error when trying to process the request. These errors tend to be with the server itself, not with the request.Hi John!
Try adding this to your robots.txt file:
User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes Disallow: /wp-content/plugins Disallow: /wp-content/cache Disallow: /wp-content/themes Disallow: /*?* Disallow: /*? Allow: /wp-content/uploadsRegards,
Josuesome thougtht about robots.txt – Info
Wordpress Codex recommendation is to let the robots.txt file pur without any input.
Usually i got some entries in my robots.txt file because (cgi-bin and wp-admin ) i want to disallow.in the last month i recognised that google search results did not index all sites of my wordpress installations.
on index status there are no indexed sites ???
There is a sitemap – crawling like google does was perfect and sending to index than too – but
on indexed sites there is no entry allthough i can see that google has all my metas (description an keywords) – if i goto google search and put in:site:www.homepage.com/ (homepage is a placeholder here)
google search lists all my sites ???on search console (former webdeveloper tools) there is a robots.txt tester – nothing is blocked here ! but on index status there are (if you look to advanced style there are 10 sites blocked via robots.txt ???
so i uploaded a manually generated robots.txt file to root-directory to overwrite the virtually one of wordpress itself with
User-agent: * Disallow:this was testwise because i want to see if problems are gone now – nothing
i than installed one of those robots.txt plugins to edit the robots.txt file via Dashboard – and now there is a difference between my manually uploaded file and the output of that plugin. So this plugin represents me the virtually generated robots.txt file of WordPress (with content in it)
This is strange for me – because i thought that this existing file in root-directory overwrites eventually existing
has anybody have the same problems ? and a solution for it.Google i think has changed the bot algorithmus a while ago. They crawl now the wohle site (even js and css files etc.)
Google needs at least 24 hours before changes are taking any effect I think.
We can’t really help you about google problems and as far as I know google is changing it’s algorithm every 5 minutes ;).
Please stick to theme related issues only and check if you have the same issue when activating a default WordPress theme. I recommend to ask this question in general WordPress forum instead.
Regards,
Andy
