i got this notification on google webmaster tools along with the following explanation "Google detected a significant increase in the number of URLs we were blocked from crawling due to authorisation permission errors."

when i dig deeper i get a buch of urls with the folowing code 403 all of them come for a word press plug in i have installed on my word press site..(its been there since the beginning of my site with no problem)

i did not do any changes and all plugins are up to date.. why is this happening and how can i fix it ?

    That's not a lot of information to go on there, but if they are real pages on your site you should look into the plugin to see what it's doing to cause this.

    If they are not real pages on your site (for example if it's trying to index the plugins directory) try blocking them with a robots.txt file.

      all the urls are actually the plugins and not real pages.. but i dont know why that happened. i did not make any changes at all.Also i have another website using that plugin for a long time and i did not notivec any problem.

      should i just re install the plug in ? or try to block with bots ?
