Hi

This errors happens when you try to access the theme’s index.php file directly, usually it displays a Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() and it shouldn’t be picked up by google’s crawler.
You can find more info about this in this tread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fatal-error-3/ and add a redirect rule for it.

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Thank you for reply Andrei,

Google’s crawler is picking up Soft 404 = https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2409443?ctx=MCE&ctx=S4

Please can you advise correct RewriteCond and RewriteRule:

http://*****/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/

So sends to 404 instead of page with this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/*****/public_html/*****/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/index.php on line 6

Hi

Please try the solution indicated here: https://ardamis.com/2011/06/02/fix-for-php-fatal-error-get_header-in-wordpress/ Basically you need to edit every file which contains get_header function.

Thanks!
