  • What do you have in your robots.txt file?

    Nothing that would block it. But my point is why would google even be FINDING a link to login on a page that does’t have that link? The attachment pages don’t have a login link, and that link is a logout link .. meaning it should only show up to a visitor that is logged in. The link google are being denied should only show up for someone logged in .. and that should not be google.

    As far as I can tell, anyway?

    Anyone? Google is still showing 404’s for these kinds of pages.

    You may take up the issue with Google as WordPress does not have anything to do with crawling, indexing, etc. by search engines.

    No, wordpress don’t .. but if google are trying to log OUT, then somehow w-p is serving them the wrong pages. I believe the issue is related to W3TC plugin .. but am not sure.

    How come Google is trying to log out? Can you post an actual link that Google is trying to log out?

    Can you remove this line from your robots.txt file and see if it makes any difference?
    Disallow: /stock/login.php

    Hey Krishna

    The link posted in the op is copied from my web masters tools page .. change out example.dom with skolaiimages.com

    The line in the robots.txt file you mention is for an entirely different platform (coppermine gallery) in a different part of the site. There do not seem to be errors coming from that. And that line disallows google from browsing the login pages (and referral pages) to that section of the site. It’s not related to that at all.

    I’m 100% sure this has to do with W3TC plugin. But getting assistance them is about impossible.

    It’s because of cookies. WordPress will redirect the crawler to a login page if it doesn’t get the right response from the crawler when checking cookies.

    You should block all login/admin URLs in robots.txt.
