/wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/

[mbarrus]

wpgmaps_markerurl = ‘URL/wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/’;

Is there anyway to get rid of this from each page.

It’s coming up a 403

Hi
Please can you send us a link to where the map is supposed to display?

Please confirm the version numbers you are using?

[mbarrus]

The map is displaying fine.

It’s just that Webmaster Tools shows “URL”/wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/

it as a 403 because most WordPress users have a robots.txt file that blocks any bots from crawling the /wp-content/ folder.

So in our Webmaster Tools it shows as a 403 error.

The map is fine

[mbarrus]

Can you help me?

Has
wpgmaps_markerurl = ‘mywebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/’;

always been a part of the plugin?

Hi
That is a new addition in the latest version.
We’ve moved the marker files there so that they do not get overridden with every update

[mbarrus]

My robots.txt file is:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins

—–
Google Webmaster Tools shows
Access denied
1

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[mbarrus]

wpgmaps_markerurl = ‘mywebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/’;

Cannot be a part of the page unless you can keep it from being crawled by Googlebot.

All of your customers will see this access denied 403 in their Webmaster tools:
/wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/

Hi Mbarrus
Unfortunately we cannot remove that at this point as it is an integral part of the plugin’s functionality.

We’ll rethink the way we’ve done it for the next release.

Kind regards
Nick

Thanks,

I have deactivated, but not deleted.

I’ll leave the shortcodes on the pages.

Please contact me when to reactivate.

Please make it a priority, because all of your customers will see this access denied 403 in their Webmaster tools:
/wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/
