I have a problem with Wordpress and the Search Console. The Search Console from Google tells me that I have a crawling error on the smartphone.
The error details are:
Googlebot could access your site, but certain URLs are blocked for Googlebot Mobile for smartphones in your robots.txt. These URLs are not included in the "Blocked URLs" report and may have been blocked unintentionally.
I have already seen the customize.php, but I have no idea what I should change or how I can solve the problem.
Any help would be appreciated! Additionally, are there detailed instructions anywhere for beginners? Many thanks in advance!!

Have you made sure that WordPress is not configured to tell search bots to not index your site? Login to your admin, then navigate to Settings -> Reading and make sure 'Discourage search engines from indexing this site' is not ticked.
Here is a screenshot to help you find it
Thank you for your quick reply. I have been convinced for safety, but the function is switched off for me.

I'm receiving strange emails can't stop them even using re-captcha in my site where it says they're comming from.
My answer to you is that you should redirect your question to https://wordpress.stackexchange.com
You're not giving us any information for your WordPress configuration to help determine what might be happening. I am guessing, but this looks like your form has been exploited. My suggestion would be to disable your forms to see if that stops the traffic. I also suggest you look at your WordPress configurations and disable comments or any other way someone can contact you, since that could be the other issue.
Good luck.
I have newly installed WordPress copy on my live server but on google search it show
"this site might be hacked "
message under my site link. i have applied the search console verification method of uploading html file into root folder but this error is not gone. checked into Security options tab it shows "content injection" spam issue with my site but i have not found any accurate method to solve that issue .
Carefully follow FAQ - My Site Was Hacked - WordPress Codex.
Then take a look at the recommended security measures in Hardening WordPress - WordPress Codex and Brute Force Attacks - WordPress Codex
Change all passwords. Scan your own PC. Tell your web host you got hacked; and consider changing to a more secure host: Recommended WordPress Web Hosting
You might find this page valuable, it seems to be talk specifically to the problem you are referring to with the warning: How to Remove Google Blacklist Warnings
This warning seems to be specific to SEO spam. From what I understand there are many different things that might be contributing to this. I think if you do a Fetch as Google via the console you should see exactly what Google is seeing. These Sercuri folks seem to have another guide that might help you too: How to Clean a WordPress Hack
Good luck, keep us posted
Two days ago we posted a new blog on a site with the aim of being picked up for the search term "live comedy in chippenham". It’s been indexed by Google and we’re now 2nd in the results for the search query. The bad news is that for some reason the post has been indexed as a https URL so all browsers give a warning when the link is clicked.
Firefox gives this error:
The owner of www.neeld.co.uk has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
The host has confirmed that it's not a server config error and we have other posts and pages on the site that are being indexed correctly. We're using WordPress and the Yoast plugin. I can't see anywhere in Webmaster Tools that could be causing the problem.
Can anyone offer any advice please? If you search Google for "live comedy in chippenham" you'll see the issue (it's the link https://www.neeld.co.uk/live-comedy-in-chippenham/)?
It's a really strange one but something I've experienced before.
It has mostly likely been caused by an external link to the page using https protocol which Google has followed before indexing the page. Google are very keen to index https pages at the moment so we might start seeing this kind of issue more often.
There's not a lot you can do other than wait for Google to realise their mistake and list the correct URL in the SERPS. You can help speed this along with a canonical link (which I can see is there), XML sitemap (which you've got) and a server level redirect of https to http.
Do not try to remove the page in Webmaster Tools as this won't have the desired effect and will stop Google reindexing the page properly.
Hope this helps.
I've been using google analytics for my website for awhile now and haven't had any problems. Just today though I checked the all pages tab under Behavior->Site Content and found something very strange. A bunch of pages that aren't on in my websites directory are now appearing there and saying they have traffic (albeit very little). Here's a link to an image of the pages: http://imgur.com/keXaQzD
I've verified that non of these pages exist on my live server or in the directory on my local machine. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Or how I can get rid of these pages on my website? I've searched around on google but have had no luck figuring out whats going on.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Timothy it looks like you are just seeing Referral/Referrer Spam.
Here are a couple of my favorite links on the subject:

Its a good idea to have a Raw View with no filters, but then also a filtered view with a include:yourdomainname.com added, to filter out any possible hits sent by people copying your GA tracking code.
I just want to start of by saying that I'm a complete noob when it comes to programing, and don't have a lot of experience with HTML or CSS. I know this place is a bit more advanced and geared mainly for programmers and developers, but the only reason I come here is because I couldn't find an answer in any of the other forums. I don't know if I can solve my problem by editing the CSS file in wordpress, but I'm hoping that some of you can chime in and let me know. The problem I have in a nutshell is that when I post a link of my blog to facebook, facebook doesn't generate the correct data or show any image preview. Here's the post I submitted at the wordpress forum:
I just got a new website, and setup a new wordpress blog on their server. It took a while, but everything is up and running for the most part. I am however, having a really hard time getting any of my post preview to show up when linking to facebook. My website is http://www.limonphotography.com/blog. When I run the same link through facebook's debugger, I get the following error sometimes:
Could Not Follow Redirect Path: Using data from .http://www.limonphotography.com/blog/ because there was an error following the redirect path.
Circular Redirect Path: Circular redirect path detected (see 'Redirect Path' section for details).
Could Not Follow Redirect: URL requested a HTTP redirect, but it could not be followed.
My wordpress URL is :http://limonphotography.com/blog but I made the site URL pointing to :http://www.limonphotography.com/blog since it's easier. Original blog is hosted with the site I have my hosting with, so the original WordPress is at http://mukul12031.c4.cmdwebsites.com/blog. Can anyone tell me why I am getting these errors, or why the preview is not showing up?
Again, I apologize if this is too simple of a questions, but I just can't figure it out on my own. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful. Thanks a lot.
My advice would be to try appending a trailing slash to your og:url tag (example: "http://mysite.com/"). Sounds stupid, I know, but it's worked for some
Another thread on this issue has yielded the following information, courtesy of Lizzbizz on this Wordpress Support thread:
"From what I can tell, this turned out to be a problem with GoDaddy
hosting services. They were applying a 302 Redirect Filter to the
server that was hosting my domain and it caused the problems. After I
emailed them a few times they finally fixed it. Try googling "GoDaddy
302 Redirect Problem" and you will see lots of other posts!
If you are not getting the 302 problem, but just have trouble getting
the image or description to appear when you share a link on Facebook,
you can use one of the WP plugins for Open Graph data like Simple
Facebook Connect or Facebook Open Graph Meta in WordPress and that
should fix it!"
