Robot blocking google bot

[ellisandwren 0]

Hi all

 

I've just signed up to Google Webmaster, but I'm getting an 'Unreachable' error message when I run a 'fetch and render' function.

 

Hours later and I'm wondering if it could be related to my robot file, please see below...

Anything obvious please?

 

I've contacted my web hosts and they have said nothing is blocking Google their end.

 

Thanks in advance.

i know this topic is a little bit older, but if someone need the solution:

You need to insert the following lines manually in the robots.txt:

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow:

User-agent: Googlebot-image
Disallow:
