Hello Robert,

Thank you very much for your response. Can you please tell me which 5 urls you mentioned above and which 3 of them are returning 404 ?

Screen shots of robots.txt and seo plugins are attached. Below is text of .htaccess

BEGIN WordPressRewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress

knockmyheart,

You are using Yoast so this is likely a setting you have wrong in xml sitemaps portion under SEO on Dashboard. Don't add anything as the plug in will handle if you just set it correctly. I have attached a scrn sht of one I have open and want to know if yours looks like this?

You have 5 urls of which the above 3 return 404 response codes. the other two resolve to the url. So, we just need to know what you have done that is blocking these. This is likely a setting you have made in error.

Shoot me a screen shot of what you are showing in robots.txt and .htaccess from Yoast and any other changes you made.

I will try to assist.
