Googlebot not able to access robots.txt file

Regular Joined: Feb 24, 2009 Posts: 81 Location: UK

I had a notification from Google Webmaster Tools saying that Googlebot couldn't access my robots.txt file on a website that Googlebot used to access with no problems. No changes have been made to this site at all in recent times, so not sure why Googlebot can't access it. It isn't Nuke Sentinel blocking it because I deactivated NukeSentinel and then tested the site again through Google Webmaster Tools, but still said it didn't have access to the robots.txt. I looked at my error log and there are a number of error/warnings logged which may relate to when Google tried to access the file, but I don't know what to do to correct these warnings. Does anyone here know what these errors mean and how to correct it? Thanks in advance for any help Smile

It seems you have a bug inside your tables.php of your theme. Please post the file inside the bb code backets or compare your file with the file from the download package.
