    Hello, I hope you can help me! I think it’s related to my news aggregator plugin but apparently they don’t want to help a paying customer! I just need to know if this is a concern. So the plugin pulls in posts from RSS feeds and saves them as a draft blog post. Each one links back to the original source and has the source url as canonical. In my 404 list, I see a bunch of my blog posts with a source url at the end.

    https://asylum-News.com/u-s-politics/Trump-is-running-in-2024-and-thats-bad/www.cnn.com.

    I’ve been redirecting them to the url without the http://www.cnn.com at the end, but what I need to know is:

    Are these coming from real people visiting my website? Because when I share articles on social media, the url doesn’t show up at the end and the links work. On my website the articles all open fine.

    I’m just hoping whatever it is, it’s NOT something I need to spend my time going through and redirecting every single one that pops up on the 404 log.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Please note that we only report the 404s. 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:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/monitor-404-errors/#advanced-404-monitor

    That will give you more information like referrer and 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 add them to the exclusion list at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor > Exclude Paths

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
