Site crawl warning - concatenated urls from Wordpress
-
I could use some help on how to fix this. I asked at the walkthrough but was told it was a Wordpress issue but so far I can't find anything to point me in the right direction. There are no errors in the files on server side and I have asked my hosting company too. I am hoping someone here may be able to shed some light on it.
One of my websites it giving 404 errors on links that are formed as below and there are over 12.7K of them!
Example: <mydomainurl>/www.instagram.com/www.instagram.com/<instagram username=""></instagram></mydomainurl>
The link that relates to my website is valid and working, but I don't understand the rest. I am totally stumped on how to move forward with this.
Any advice, suggestions, tips on how to fix these errors and stop these types of links getting generated.
Thanks.

You're a star Jo! Thanks so much.
Was such a simple fix. The site has been sitting there and I need to get it going again.
Just required the https to be added on the theme. Never complained it was missing.
Recrawling now so hopefully that will sort out the issues with Site Crawler, class tool! I never would have spotted it without it.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Emercarr.
Thanks for reaching out, Jo here from the Moz help team.
I had a look at your Campaign and your site and it looks like there is a link in your social panel that is creating this issue.

If you hover over the Instagram button you'll see the url in this format show up as a preview at the bottom of your browser:
<mydomainurl>/www.instagram.com/www.instagram.com/<instagram username=""></instagram></mydomainurl>
To check if this is the cause I would recommend removing the instagram link temporarily, or checking and updating the link format, and then prompting a recrawl of your site.
Please do feel free to reach out to help@moz.com if you get stuck :]
Cheers!
Jo

Moz Crawl only crawling the top level page (1 page)
For the past few mounts my weekly site crawl has been inconsistent. One week works fine, it crawls all of my 500 or so pages. The following week it only crawls 1 page (http://mydomain.com) and nothing else. A few weekly scan go by and the crawl is back up the the 500 or so pages.I went ahead and created several campaigns with duplicate settings and crawled the site. Most times but not all the new campaign's crawl works fine crawling all pages. But within a week or two the weekly crawl will fail again. (crawling 1 page). Currently i have four campaign's all with the same settings running weekly crawls. 2 campaign's crawled the 500 pages and two crawled only the single page. Any help will be greatly appreciated

On-Page Grader URL inaccessible when copy/pasted but not when edited
Hi!, I've looked through multiple topics on this but none quite seem to fit what's going on - hopefully someone can help! I get the error message 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.' when I copy and paste a url from my site into the search e.g. http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/ However if I edit this to https the search completes fine. Since we redesigned our site approx 6 months ago, we've found most of our rankings have completely dropped off, and now I'm getting this error I'm wondering if it has something to do with how our site is structured? If I'm getting this error with Moz does that mean Google could be having issues too? Or is it all just a strange quirk? Thanks!

How do I go about fixing my High Priority issues that SEO moz says I have on a PHP site?
I am been trying to deal with this problem for some time now. I have talked to several IT people and SEO moz. None seem to know how to fix these issues on the type of site our company is. Our biggest issue with is Duplicate Page Content. We also have some title issues. Our site is built with PHP coding and variable, meaning the site is not a typical static website. We have a handful of pages that are dynamic depending on what the users chooses to see and do. So, my problem is I can't just go to a specific page and put the canonical or the redirect. It isn't multiple pages for our category pages, for example, it is just one that builds the page depending on the search. Please help!
