 * I apologize for not getting back to this sooner.
 * The robots.txt file doesn’t change whether Jetpack is active or not. It’s always
   this:
 * User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/ Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
 * I kept Jetpack off for a few months and enabled it on July 9th and it was fine,
   until July 17th when I started getting the error on Google Webmaster Tools again.
   I disabled Jetpack to check tonight and while it was disabled, Google was able
   to crawl [https://shebloggedbynight.com](https://shebloggedbynight.com), but 
   turning Jetpack back on made Google unable to crawl or index that top page.
 * I didn’t do any updates or anything to the website on July 17th so I don’t know
   what changed. It worked fine for 8 days and then went back to not working again.

 * Hi, just wanted to say I also removed two FooGallery widgets and switched briefly
   over to a different theme and still had the same problem. Any thoughts?

 * Unfortunately the fix was short lived.
 * I updated Jetpack to 9.6.1 this morning and started getting “URL is not available
   to Google” errors again when running URL Inspection on [https://shebloggedbynight.com](https://shebloggedbynight.com)
 * When I deactivated Jetpack the URL was fine again.
 * Unfortunately I don’t know what version of Jetpack I was using when this all 
   started, I think 9.6.0 but I can’t be sure.

 * Okay, I am officially baffled.
 * This morning I reactivated Jetpack to test out your suggestion, and robots.txt
   didn’t change.
 * But I also tried URL Inspection again out on Google Webmaster Tools and NOW _[
   redundant link removed ]_ is available, even with Jetpack activated.
 * The only change I’ve made since I last posted was I updated a plugin called Redirection,
   which manages 301 directs and 404s.
 * I’ll keep Jetpack activated and test with the URL Inspection tool a few more 
   times to see if it sticks.

 * I activated Jetpack a few minutes ago and ran a check through Google Webmaster
   Tools again, and the 403 error came back. I deactivated and ran the URL Inspection
   again, and it showed the URL was fine.
 * When I went to _[ redundant link removed ]_ when I had Jetpack on, it loaded 
   just fine. The problem seemed to be with Google being unable to access the page
   with its mobile webcrawler. From my end, everything looked fine until I went 
   into my Google Webmaster Console and saw 1 page with an error, and discovered
   what was going on.
 * This apparently started back in August, and I have no idea what could have happened
   in August that started this.
 * I don’t know enough about sitemaps to really understand them, but I’m pretty 
   sure I used Yoast to generate a sitemap. It’s been a long time but I don’t think
   I used Jetpack for that.

   I still can’t export.

 * Hello! Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the delay — I waited until I 
   updated to 4.9.2 before digging around.
 * That file is indeed there, I checked it out on CPanel.
 * Then I disabled these plug-ins one at a time to see if it would help: Updraft,
   WP-Spamshield, Wordfence, and StopBadBots. I just tried those thinking maybe 
   the problem was a security program accidentally blocking access. Disabling them
   didn’t solve the problem.
 * Pretty baffled here. Could there be some kind of conflict with our custom layout?

 * Hmm. I just started using Wordfence too and seeing tons of bots hit that login
   page when I look at the live traffic. I must have the settings wrong — thanks
   for mentioning it, it gives me somewhere to start.

   similar sites. It seemed sketchy.

   a menu, but otherwise it was pretty much just plug-and-play.

 * Hi Ben — I’m planning on trying it again when I open my new website in a month
   or so.
 * However, on my current main website, any time I update to the new Yoast, my hits
   and Google rankings drop by about 40% to 50%. (I last tried in mid October so
   it’s a recent problem.) Since that’s a website I probably won’t have much longer,
   I think I’ll pass on upgrading Yoast there. I would assume that, once upgrading
   to the new Yoast, the SEO would improve after a few weeks, or maybe after I review
   each post to fix the settings to work with the new version, but I don’t really
   have time for that.
 * Thanks for your reply. I’ll keep this review in mind and update/change after 
   using it on the new website, but it’ll be a few months before I know how it works.

 * Thanks apessoa, I’ll check that out.
 * Thanks to you as well, frizzel, and I’ll check Data Transporter out when I get
   around to finding a new SEO. I saw your comments to the developer on the other
   thread this morning — good luck!
 * Final note: I did just realize after checking my webpage hits that for the days
   I had the new Yoast SEO, Google wasn’t indexing my website. I was getting 50%
   of the usual number of hits. My Alexa rank plummeted, too, but no idea if Yoast
   had anything to do with it.
