Hello,
I’m getting weird errors from the Error Log of CPanel that specifically pertains to the Newspaper Theme. They are as follows:
[Tue Sep 30 08:10:16.833430 2014] [autoindex:error] [pid 27199] [client 173.000.000.000] AH01276: Cannot serve directory ***** public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/js/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html.var,index.htm,index.html,index.shtml,index.xhtml,index.wml,index.perl,index.pl,index.plx,index.ppl,index.cgi,index.jsp,index.js,index.jp,index.php4,index.php3,index.php,index.phtml,default.htm,default.html,home.htm,index.php5,Default.html,Default.htm,home.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive, referer: http://***sitename****/****sitepost***
And would go on and go on. I tried reinstall the theme but it wouldn’t still clear itself.
Any ideas?
Looks like something is trying to access the /js/ file by an index, which isn’t there. Nothing should be looking in that directory or navigating there on the web.
Meaning people should not be going to
yoursite.xyz/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/js/index.html
Might be a hacker, or you could be using a plugin which is trying to send requests to that directory without specifying the actual element to load from the folder.
You could try just putting an empty index.htm file there to stop errors, then perhaps use referrer data to see WHERE the requests for index.htm are coming from.
Probably a much better way to do that … but I’m not getting those errors myself.

Hello! Thanks for your reply. The first the I checked was WT3C cache plugin if its causing that but the minification is off. I’ll try to do what you have suggested. Thank you!
