Google Search Console – Submitted URL blocked due to other 4xx issue

    I have also recently encountered this error for a page that was previously indexing just fine. It is not necessarily a page I need to be searchable but I don’t like to see errors in my coverage so want to resolve it. i looked through you previous ticket with a similar issues

    the URL in question is
    https://stellardiscovery.com/contact/

    it checks out on the https://httpstatus.io/

    I have entered my sitemap into search console but there doesn’t seem to be one in my robots.txt, should there be?

    my robot.txt is as follows:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /calendar/action~posterboard/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~agenda/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~oneday/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~month/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~week/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~stream/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~undefined/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~http:/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~default/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~poster/
    Disallow: /calendar/action~*/
    Disallow: /*controller=ai1ec_exporter_controller*
    Disallow: /*/action~*/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~posterboard/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~agenda/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~oneday/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~month/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~week/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~stream/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~undefined/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~http:/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~default/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~poster/
    Disallow: /astronomical-events/action~*/

    I am not sure if one of the disallow lines would be stopping (or if these are actually needed as I think they are leftover from a plugin I no longer use). or if I should have some allow clauses. It is not really something I am familiar with so any assistance is appreciated.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    I’ve checked your contact page, and it is already included in your sitemap. Also, there’s no issue upon checking the status with Googlebot as User-Agent in https://httpstatus.io/.

    In this case, please include your sitemap link in your robots.txt. Here’s the recommended robots.txt of Rank Math:

    Once done, remove all your submitted sitemaps and resubmit your sitemap to your Google Search Console account then give Google some time to recrawl your site.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.
