  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please note that we only report the 404s. We do not have information on how or why they are generated. Kindly share some screenshots of some of the logs so we can check if this isn’t just 404 logs generated by bots.

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

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    The screenshot you have shared is not working. Could you please check?

    Meanwhile, since you have already switched to Advanced Mode, 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.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello, yeah i’m sorry i just programmate that the the url of the image expire in 6 hours.

    Ok, so I understand now that it is possible that the reason for the multiple logs is caused by bots. How exactly can I configure in the advanced option of rank math, redirect or block the bots from happening again.

    Hello,
    How do you come to the conclusion that they are bots? I want to know how to identify them too

    Well, when I enable the advanced rank math (user agent) option, I can see indeed that some bots from different browsers are producing those logs. I’m not sure if that’s normal or if there’s a problem that needs to be fixed fast.

    Hello,

    As mentioned before, we have no knowledge of how the 404s are generated. We only report them. Based on the screenshot you shared. The log seems to be generated from a browser so this doesn’t seem to be generated by a bot.

    You can either ignore this log or redirect it to another content or page.

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