Hi!

I’m a Ghost(Pro) user with Casper theme (I’m assuming it’s all up-to-date automatically).

 ![Ghost_Twitter_Card_Issue](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/0/0bbd836d54ef73c1534ceebad72f22d1a23a413b.png)

I’ve recently gone “live” with my website but am encountering the issue as per the screenshot: the twitter card is NOT pulling through. Tried it on card validator and it returned an error.

[Card Validator | Twitter Developers](https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator)

My site: [https://www.business-games.ai/](https://www.business-games.ai/)

Could you please suggest what I can do? Is there a time lag after the website goes “live” and before the Twitter card would work?

I searched around on the Forum but it seems there were related but ultimately different issues…

Thanks!

Your `robots.txt` file is currently blocking all search engines and bots, including the bot Twitter uses to fetch data for their card display:

```auto
User-agent: *
Disallow: /

```

You likely want to delete the custom `robots.txt` file inside your theme so that it automatically reverts to Ghost’s default:

```auto
User-agent: *
Sitemap: {{blog-url}}/sitemap.xml
Disallow: /ghost/
Disallow: /p/
Disallow: /email/

```

If you’re still having problems drop an email to [support@ghost.org](mailto:support@ghost.org) and they’ll be able to give you a hand directly 🙂

Thank you SOOO much, @Kevin ! I don’t want to fiddle around with the theme, so I’ll email them directly, thanks again!
