 * The `admin-ajax.php` is an internal WordPress file and which should be crawlable
   by the search engines. We recommend you to simply click mark as fixed button 
   from your Google Search Console property to fix the issue.

 * Hi [@mazedulislamkhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mazedulislamkhan/),
   this solution doesn’t quite work.
 * Perhaps Googlebot changed the way that they treat `Disallow: /wp-admin/`, and
   now _maybe_ a `disallow` will override an `allow` that follows it within the 
   same path?
 * I have the same exact problem, and when I click “Mark as Fixed,” the problem 
   returns automatically.
 * Here is the robots.txt:
 *     ```
       User-agent: *
       Disallow: /wp-admin/
       Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
   
       Sitemap: https://www.guitarmusictheory.com/sitemap.xml.gz
       ```
   
 * I’ve tried this with Yoast, without Yoast, with a default WordPress theme, and
   with a custom theme.
 * Regardless, here is the 400 error in Google Search Console:
 * > URL:
   >  [https://www.guitarmusictheory.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php](https://www.guitarmusictheory.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php)
   > Googlebot couldn’t access this page because the server didn’t understand the
   > syntax of Googlebot’s request.

 * The issue lies in the site map.
 * Delete all site maps from search console. and remove that sitemap line from your
   robots.txt.
 * The issue of finding a valid way to create a sitemap and auto upload to search
   console is still not solved and is on my current list of mania projects.
