Twitter Card Validator Error Query

[michaelm73]

Hi guys,

I am incorporating twitter card info into my site and testing via their validator. However, I receive an error about the image I uploaded to the Weebly editor being blocked by robots.txt? I checked the robots.txt file and couldn't specifically see this. Could anyone help me resolve the error please?

Here is the full image url:

And here is the contents of robots.txt:

Thanks for posting, @michaelm73. I believe @whitemonkey did some testing and found a successful way to add twitter cards in this thread: https://community.weebly.com/t5/How-Do-I-In-the-Community/How-to-get-images-to-be-displayed-on-twitt...

@Adam @michaelm73 

Also   re blocked by robot txt   happens if the page u want to be linked to twitter cards was at any time   blocked.   

So the way i forced the page to be read, was to copy the page.   Delete the original, switch the permalink to the original ,    un block the page and republish    then it worked 'subito'
