: Is it a problem for Google if robots.txt blocks URLs in the sitemap? I had submitted my site's URL to Google Webmaster Tools. I am using OpenCart. I also have robots.txt file which is accessible

I had submitted my site's URL to Google Webmaster Tools. I am using OpenCart. I also have robots.txt file which is accessible to Googlebot.

Now issue I am facing: Googlebot is blocked from accessing 450 URLs by robots.txt but these URLs are present in the sitemap which I submitted. Now I am seeing almost 150 warnings on the "Google Index" page of Google Webmasters Tools.

Will this effect the website indexing? I do not know how to control the sitemap. am using the default sitemap for OpenCart.

This is not an issue if you don't want Google to index these 450 pages. But you may get these warnings forever, or until you get control on the sitemap.
