# Robots.txt issue

 * My site uses a theme with messaging which I have disabled and do not use. However
   when my site is crawled these pages “www.websitename.com/message” are picked 
   up and reported as errors.
    With my previous SEO plugin I could manually disallow
   this but I can’t see how to do this now. There is no option for “messages” for
   me to tick/untick
 * Apart from this, the plugin is excellent.

 * Hello!
 * Could you go to “SEO Settings > Robots Meta Settings > Indexing > Post Type Settings”
   and see if you can deindex “messages” there?
 * Please also inform the theme author about this issue — non-public endpoints shouldn’t
   be registered as publicly queryable.

 * Thanks for the reply, there is no messages option anywhere, I will get in touch
   with the author as you suggest.
