Hi,

Please make sure that the theme system status is configured as mentioned in the requirements guide. Please follow the guide carefully

Also please uninstall/delete TD Composer and install it again.

Thank you.

This is an ancient problem with WP and Google – when you update a theme, your redirects are temporarily without a place to go and this can cause the ‘index’ file to load in the theme folder, and be seen by Googlebot. The only way to avoid this when doing site updates is to use a ‘maintenance mode’ plugin which pretty much tells the world “we are temporarily closed to do updates” — the main culprit, and one I have complained to WP about for a decade is their use of an index.php file as the default template vs template.php — so there is always an index.php file in your root theme folder which anybody on the web, including Google, can go to and it will try to load and then *correctly* generate an error — it’s not a public page.

One option is to use an htaccess file to setup a redirect for that to your main URL, make the permissions unreadable by outside sources, etc.

Or, simply mark it fixed in search console and get on with your life.

This issue has been posted in this forum at least 100 times now, so obviously a note about this in the FAQs might be helpful 😉
