How to Fix "Blocked by Robots.txt" Error in Blogger
2. Check Your Blogger Settings
Blogger has a built-in feature of custom robots.txt blogger settings. If this was set up incorrectly, it could be blocking your entire site.
- Log in to your Blogger Dashboard.
- Go to Settings > Scroll down to Crawlers and indexing.
- Check Enable custom robots.txt.
[ INSERT IMAGE 2: Blogger Settings - Crawlers and Indexing Section ]
3. Use the Standard "Safe" Robots.txt
If you want to use a custom robots.txt to ensure your sitemap is submitted correctly, use this standard format:
Plaintext
4. Ask Google to Validate the Fix
Once you have updated your settings in Blogger:
- Go back to Google Search Console.
- Click on the Blocked by robots.txt error.
- Click the Validate Fix button.
Google will then re-crawl your site. Note that it can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks for the error to disappear from your dashboard.
