So Many errors in Google.
-
I have recently started getting one error after another in Google webmaster tools. The first ones started when I added a WP forum, I got 3 errors, but they were for the admin section. I can’t understand why Google would even be crawling the back end of the forum. So I removed the forum.
Then yesterday I noticed traffic was down, and I have a new lot of errors, 21 in total, some different, some the same… a couple of examples:
wp-includes/Requests/Exception/HTTP/402.php
wp-includes/customize/class-wp-customize-custom-css-setting.php
wp-includes/Requests/Exception/HTTP/505.php
One thing I have noticed is that they all have this ‘includes’ error.I am not tech savvy in the slightest, so asking me to go into the actual code and alter things, well I wouldn’t have a clue where to start.
The only thing I have done was to change the sitemap plugin from ‘Google sitemaps’ to ‘Bestwebsoft sitemaps’ needless to say I have since changed back, although I have no idea whether this caused the errors or not.
Does anyone have any ideas why Google suddenly started to hate my site?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
On what site are you working? The account you’re using to post here does not own any sites on WordPress.com.
If you’re using the open source WordPress software at another host, please ask for help at https://wordpress.org/support/forums instead.
For issues with Google crawling your site it might also help to contact Google support directly.

Hello,
I didn’t realize there were different WP sites, my apologies.
My site is: https://blog.ceekaysvapeshack.com/wp/
I think I might be using the open source version so I’ll head over there and ask the question.Thanks very much for your time.

@ceekaysreviews – for what it’s worth, you can use your robots.txt file to tell Google not to index your wp-admin folders, since those won’t be showing up in search results anyway.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/Good luck!

Thank you for the reply supernovia, is this easy to do?
Would I just need to find the robots.txt file and then add the 2 lines of text anywhere in there?Sorry I really am not good when it comes to the back end of my sites.
-
Yup. And if you need help, your host can likely help you with this part since it’s really not even part of WordPress itself.
-
Thank you so much!
Just to clarify (and sorry for sounding so stupid) the bit where it says
User-agent: *
I actually type the * too? thats not meant for me to add something else?
-
Yup! You can even spy on our robots.txt here to see what we did (or you can check anyone else’s for that matter)
-
And — you can find a bunch more info here:

Thats great, thanks for the info.
Only problem seems to be, I’ve just been into my cpanel, checked my files (used search) and I don’t seem to have a robots.txt file. -
No problem. The site I linked earlier + your host can teach you how to make one. Cheers :)
-
I’ve emailed my host, so fingers crossed.
Thanks again for your help. It’s very much appreciated :)
