  Hi guys,

  I’m having some trouble linking my website through the Google Search Console. I have got this message once all was linked up:

  “Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt”

  Is this a theme problem or a wordpress problem? Either way does anybody know of any ways to fully allow Google to crawl the site with no blocking?

  A little back story – previous to my website being finished I selected the “do not allow search engines to index”. However since fully launching the site I made sure uncheck this in the wordpress backend and through Yoast to allow search engines to index (but have still got this message after a few days since linking).

  Thanks,

  Adam

  Thanks for your help. It seems to be more of a Google issue and it’s starting to get indexed now thanks!
