404 requested entity not found

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with the 404 error. A "404 Not Found" error occurs when a user or Googlebot tries to access a URL on your website that does not exist. This can happen if the page has been removed, the URL is incorrect, or broken links point to the non-existent page.

To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

1. Redirect Removed Pages: If the page has moved, create a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. This helps preserve any link equity from the old URL.
2. Fix Broken Links: Check internal and external links pointing to the missing page and update them accordingly. If possible, reach out to the sites linking to your deleted pages and request an update to the correct URL.
3. Create a Custom 404 Page: Design a user-friendly 404 page that guides visitors to helpful content on your site. Include links to popular posts or a search bar to help users find what they want.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to our guide on fixing 404 errors.

If you need further assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Please try to reconfigure the Google Instant Indexing plugin by following this guide and see if that works for you: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/

Regarding issues with the Rank Math meta box, please ensure you have updated to the latest version of our plugins according to the Rank Math changelog https://rankmath.com/changelog,

Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), this can be caused by conflicting plugin/theme on your site.

To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

However, if the issue persists, we might need to look closer at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead: https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log plugin to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any): https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
