404 errors
-
Im experiencing a different problem. I created a website using wordpress "www.xxxxx.com". When I publish any post (eg:"www.xxxxxx.com/abc/"), along with the post, its also creating another page like "www.xxxxxx.com/abc/www.xxxxx.com" which is a 404 error (showing in SEOmoz reports)
automatically the website name is coming at the end (one at first and one at last) and creating a 404 error. Please let me know the reason why its happening and the solution for redirecting all 404 and misspelt pages to home page.
Thankyou

thanks...
now I have reset all files. But this is not all. In future I may get this again.
How do I redirect all 404 error pages to my home page?
Regards

If you want to disable comments you can do that in the discussion settings. There is no need to mess with any code.
Check out Yoast SEO plugin for canonicalization in Wordpress. That'll make sure all of your SEO is going to one page. Wordpress notoriously duplicates pages when you use categories.
I'm not sure where your 404 error is coming from, but I do know that when you play with the code in wordpress you can mess things up easily if you don't know exactly what you're doing. It's happened to me on more than one occasion

Are you using a third party SEO plugin? Or are you using Permalinks - if permalinks try using
/%postname%/ under custom permalink.
Please advise us of your findings and give us some details of the history of the problem. Is this a new site? Have you moved it recently? Added new plugin? Upgraded anything?

My website is struggling to receive traffic I think I have a serious error
Hi, My website would receive a lot of traffic and then I asked a SEO company who contacted me to do some work on the site. Since then, the site has dropped in the rankings and our traffic has dropped by like a lead balloon. Instead of receiving thousands of visitors, today we have received 10. I am finding that I have articles no longer in Google but they are in Yahoo. Here is an example of an article that was once popular https://www.in2town.co.uk/travel-advice/how-to-save-money-booking-a-holiday-through-a-travel-agent/ I have tried everything and now I do not know where to turn. I am not sure what they have done but everything has now failed. We have not been penalized and our hosting company have said they cannot find anything wrong. Due to this problem we have stopped writing articles and have spent all our time trying to work out what has gone wrong. If anyone can give me advice and point me in the right direction then I would be in your debt.

Hi guys, We plan to close down our blog, which is a subdomain to our anchor site. I need advice on how to keep the link juice and its SEO value. Is it better to 301 redirect the blog to the homepage of our site, or just 404 all the pages of the blog? Thanks

What Should I Do With 404 Errors?
I got lots of 404 errors due to the fact that I removed some crappy content. Do I need to worry about this? I know eventually they will go away when Google crawls the whole website and doesn't find any more links to those pages.

Does the duplicate content on the crawl errors report test content on external websites?

Crawl error vs RSS feed content
Hi, I have a BuddyPress Multisite with sites dedicated to specific RSS feeds. I did this to pull in the content for my users. But they generate a 1000s of SEMOZ errors/warnings for dup content, dup titles, missing metatags. etc. So does keeping the content help my site SEO less than the errors? The content is not under my control so I have no way to relate it to my keywords. Any opinions? I can recreate these RSS sites, so I will probably delete them to see what happens. Larry
