Hi
1 / Please always supply your full and real website URL
2 / GSC is correct, this line is invalid. I suspect it was manually modified as this is not what 4SEO insert in the sitemap.
The correct line is:
Allow: /sitemap-4seo
You can either manually fix it, or go to 4SEO Sitemap | Settings and disable, then enable back Sitemap support by 4SEO. This will cause 4SEO to first remove the lines about 4SEO sitemap from the robots.txt, and then add them back when you re-enable.
If that line is still incorrect after that, it means you have an incorrect website home address configuration. This can be either:
- in 4SEO itself (Pages | Settings | Site)
- or more likely you have entered something in the Joomla SEF system plugin option (you should not, that should be all empty)
- or you have a value for live_site in your configuration.php file (you should not, this should be empty)
Best regards
