Hello,
I’ve just added my website to the google search console and noticed there is a crawl error:

1
wp-content/themes/Newsmag/
500
7-12-17

Also search console says that it did not fount the robots.txt file while it is fully accessible.

Anyone?

the /newsmag/ error is a common issue with WordPress – not theme related; meaning when you change themes, if Google pings your site, it tries to load an index file in theme folder, when there is none.

One solution, which we do here, is to add a redirect for /newsmag/index.php >> mainsite >> index.php

Theme doesn’t control your robots.txt file. You can test by simply doing

mysite.com/robots.txt — is it actually there?

(I don’t work here.)

Thanks Chris for taking your time to answer this.
I see that the robots.txt file works as it should so i’ll guess this is good.
