Hello ,
I am getting 404 error in some pages of my wordpress site http://engineerbabu.com/ .
Those pages are permanently removed.Is there any plugin to fix this prob or anyway so that google will not crawl these pages.

Thanks Lynn. This is really helpful.

Hi,
If you are seeing the 404 errors in the moz crawl report then these pages are likely still being linked to internally, so it would be good to correct any outdated internal links. You can check where the pages are being linked from by downloading the crawl report and checking the relevant column.
If the links are external then you can 301 redirect the old pages to the most relevant new pages using a 301 plugin. There are a few of them you can check out here.

Can you point out the specific pages? (Which page it redirects from, and where to.)

I'm struggling to understand (and fix) why I'm getting a 404 error. The URL includes this "%5Bnull%20id=43484%5D" but I cannot find that anywhere in the referring URL. Does anyone know why please? Thanks
Can you help with how to fix this 404 error please?

How can I Style Long "List Posts" in Wordpress?
Hi All, I have been working on a list-post which spans over 100 items. Each item on the list has a quick blurb to explain it, an image and a few resource links. I am trying to find an attractive way to present this long list post in Wordpress. I have seen several sites with long list posts however; they place their items one on top of the other which yields a VERY long page and the end user has to do a lot of scrolling. Others turn their lists into slideshows, but I have no data on how slides perform against 10-mile-long-lists which load in 1 page. I would like to do something similar to what List25.com does as they present about 5-10 items per page and they seem to have pagination. The pagination part I understand however; is there a shortcode plugin to format lists in an attractive way just like list25?

404 Errors & Redirection
Hi, I'm working with someone who recently had two websites redesigned. The old permalink structure consisted of domain/year/month/date/post-name. Their developer changed the new permalink structure to domain/post-name, but apparently he didn't redirect the old URLs to the new ones so we're finding that links from external sites result in 404 errors (once I remove the date in the URL, the links work fine). Each site has 3-4 years worth of blog posts, so there are quite a few that would need to be changed. I was thinking of using the Redirection plugin - would that be the best way to fix this sitewide on both sites?Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Carolina
