    Hi @jennyparker,

    I checked the robots.txt file of your site and it looks absolutely fine. It’s possible that the robots.txt file was blocking search engines when Google or Yandex crawled your site, but everything looks good at present.

    You can submit a re-index request to Google by following our documentation here and that should not throw any errors now.

    Hey @jennyparker,

    This is a bug on Google’s end that is reported now and then. Your robots.txt file should be perfectly fine; Google Search Console is throwing false-positive errors.

    I would recommend that you request those URLs to be indexed again and that you also confirm using Google’s Robots.txt Tester that those URLs can be accessed by Google – https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/robots-testing-tool
