Hi Nickolas,

Suddenly I noticed a strange page of my website in Google search results

http://www.mydomain.xx/component/users/

In my robots.txt this folder is blocked from indexing and I do not know what I did wrong. Why Google show this page? Can I do something from Admin Tools to hide it?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /administrator/
Disallow: /bin/
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /cli/
Disallow: /components/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /installation/
Disallow: /language/
Disallow: /layouts/
Disallow: /libraries/
Disallow: /logs/
Disallow: /modules/
Disallow: /plugins/
Disallow: /tmp/

This is out of scope for Admin Tools.

Furthermore please note that robots.txt excludes /componetns/ (plural) not /component/ (singular). These are two very different things. URLs in the format http://www.mydomain.xx/component/users/ are SEF URLs for com_users, the internal Joomla! component handling user registration, username reminder, password reset, login, logout and user profile editing. You will get this kind of SEF URLs if you have enabled SEF URLs in Global Configuration but there's no Public menu item pointing to com_users. For more information I suggest asking this question to the Joomla! forum.
