It looks like Google has started to index a little to much of my site.
It is indexing a lot of:
Index of /wp-content/themes/enfold/framework/images …
Can anyone tell me why? I have not made any changes to my site, I have not installed any new plugins.
All I have done is install the latest updates when it became available…
Hey adferger1,
I apologize, but I didn`t understand the connection between your problem and our theme. May you explain it better?
Best regards,

Dont know if there is a connection.
All I know is that suddenly the entire theme folder starts to get indexed by Google.
I haven’t installed any new plugin or made any other changes to the site, that could cause this. All I have done is updating the theme. So I am guessing it is because of a theme update at some point…
Morning,
It takes time for google to crawl a site so it may just be coincidence that folders have popped up after the update.
Are you using any SEO plugins to generate a sitemap and or robots.txt?
You can use robots.txt to stop bots crawling certain folders. For example…
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /junk/
The Yoast SEO plugin has a functions to limit folders from your site map and hence stop Google crawling them.
Be careful when blocking folders as if google cant crawl certain resources (i.e. css files or js files) it may be a red mark against you.
Hope that helps

Hi,
Do let us know if that solution works out for you.

Yes I am using Yoast. And Yoast has an option to generate robots.txt files.
Perhaps that is the reason. I have Disallow to the robots.txt now…
