I have a word press site and when I did an audit the message " Resources restricted from indexing" appeared what does this mean? How do I fix it? Any help appreciated thanks
 
It means that your robots.txt file is probably blocking files that might be needed to render the page. Web Browsers ignore that file so the website looks fine when you visit it. Google has to abide by that file and the website might appear broken when google visits it as a result.

It could also mean that there are "no-index" meta tags on some pages that prevent Google from showing those pages. This is a fairly rare problem... I'd wager it is something being blocked in your robots.txt file.

You're using wordpress, then I think you should install Yoast SEO plugin, then review again your robot file in Yoast plugin to find out which part block your content from getting index by GG.

Good luck to you,
 
Change your robots.txt file with below one
Code:
User-agent:  *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /archives/
Disallow: *?replytocom
Disallow: /comments/feed/
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Allow: /
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/

User-agent: Adsbot-Google
Allow: /

User-agent: Googlebot-Mobile
Allow: /
 
it means that your file (robot.txt) is restricted. Let change it in google webmaster tools.
