404

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the support.

We do not have information on how or why they are generated. You can get further insight into them by enabling the advanced monitor at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor.

That will give you more information like the referrer and the user-agent. You can use that information to track down the source or find out if it is just bots generating those errors.

You can also fix these errors by redirecting them to a related page on your website:

Or, you can add them to the exclusion list at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor > Exclude Paths

If you are seeing random 404s that you know for a fact are incorrect – it is likely generated by a bot and can be safely ignored. You could also use a service like Cloudflare to block out access to bots so they do not use up your server resources.

Here’s a great article on how to secure your WordPress website:

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Sorry to disappoint you but we don’t have any control over the 404 errors. If you are seeing random 404 errors, it means bots are trying to visit the URLs that don’t exist on your site, and the only way to fix this is to block bots using a service like Cloudflare or get in touch with your host.

You can use the advanced 404 monitor to figure out user-agent and referrer pages: https://rankmath.com/kb/advanced-404-monitor/

If the errors are related to the pages that used to exist on your site before then you can redirect those URLs to a related page.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

You can redirect them to the correct location using the Redirection option we offer in the plugin. Here is the link once again:

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello,

You can use the following redirection rule in our Redirections module to redirect all the URLs with /en/:

Source: en/(.*)
Match: regex
Destination: https://site.com/$1

Change the https://site.com with your actual domain name.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.

Hello,

You can share the login details of your site so we can add the redirection on your website for you. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress 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:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
