Can`t seem to fix this issue in Search Console

I can`t seem to fix this issue in Search Console. I checked the blocked resources and there is nothing blocked there. I also fetched and rendered as Googlebot in Search Console and there are no issues. I even changed the robots.txt file to allow CSS and JS with Googlebot.
My question is this. Do I need to worry about this? Do I need to change the robots.txt file on my site to not have the period before CSS and JS? Is there something else I should try?
Thanks!

  • Webhosting 4 Business: The only thing in your robots.txt file should be
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
  • Greg Kristan: +Webhosting 4 Business ;for some reason I thought the WP-Admin was part of the problem since that is automatically blocked in the robots.txt file with WP
  • Webhosting 4 Business: +Greg Kristan ; I have never seen google have an issue with any of my or my clients site and all have Disallow: /wp-admin/
  • Tim Capper: Updated versions of WP have corrected this issue I believe. Old versions you had to remove /wp-admin/ from robots.txt but newer versions its OK to have it back in.
  • Greg Kristan: Interesting. Is anyone else still seeing this message with their WP site?
  • Webhosting 4 Business: +Tim Capper ; To be honest Tim it never occurred to me to ask how old his version was, you should always be running the latest version.
  • Greg Kristan: Those are good points. I am just wondering if there is no problem with Fetch as Google, and there are no blocked resources in Google, should I even care about the message?
  • Webhosting 4 Business: +Greg Kristan ; As long as your running at least WP 4.2 I wouldn't worry to much about it, If you want to send me a screen shot of the error I would be happy to dig a little deeper.
