    Soft 404 URL Errors

    Hello Guys

    We seem to be having issues regarding indexing of urls according to google webmaster tools, we keep getting error messages about Soft 404 errors and resulting in these urls not being indexed?

    Can someone explain why this is please as it will need fixing or sorting out ASAP. Thanks David

    Hello,

    You can use this script for redirecting 404 urls:

    PHP Code:
    Only registered members can view the code
    replace ERROR_PATH and CORRECT_PATH with your paths respectively and run error url on your site
    then in google webmaster marked error links as fixed

    you can place it in includes > controllers > common.inc.php (at the top)

    in case when you don't need to use some categories you can do like that:

    PHP Code:
    Only registered members can view the code

    Sorry Rudi

    I am still learning however i would prefer someone with more skills that understand this to sort this out for me, code don't mean anything to me right now? And what do you mean by in case when you don't need to use some categories you can do like that: ? This is why i get confused.
