Google Search Console Errors
-
Hello!
I have had some problems after updating to the latest versions. I currently have 4.09.
Google Search Console has new coverage issues: “Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt”, and it has 47 pages as examples, all of which are wp-admin or backend urls.
Some are as follows:
https://xxx.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=aioseo¬ifications=true
https://xxx.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=aioseo-social-networksand the list goes on. I assume it has to do with your plugin’s robot.txt pages. Google Search Console robots.txt checker says there are no errors, and I do have the following regular wordpress lines in my robots.txt that instruct search engines not to index wp-admin urls:
User-agent: *
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Disallow: /wp-admin/Is there a problem with this? I read that other users are having difficulties with robots.txt issues.
I have also had weird issues where my pages that are published and showing in dashboard sometimes throw 404 errors. After resaving the page, they reappear. Can you please let me know what’s happening?
Another issue is that certain post types that I have selected NOT to use meta data, such as my content blocks that I publish only to pull as blocks into other pages, have meta titles and descriptions. I fear that might be considered duplicate content, and also that the posts are far too small to be considered posts on their own. (They are from the Loomisoft Content Blocks plugin). These posts, along with others like Pods, are NOT selected (I have only Posts and Pages selected) but they show up with AIOSEO fields.
This is about the free version. Although I did have the pro version for years, I had to move back to free while troubleshooting.
