    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out about the 404 errors in Google Search Console for your URLs. To address the 404 errors for URLs containing "feed" and the extra date in the URLs, here are some steps you can take:

    Fixing URLs with "feed":

    1. Identify the Issue: Check why these URLs are generating 404 errors. It could be due to incorrect permalinks or missing content.
    2. Redirect: If the URL does not have "feed" in it, and you are redirecting it with a 301 to another URL, ensure that the redirection is correctly set up in your server configuration or through a plugin.

    Fixing URLs with Extra Date:

    1. Review Permalink Structure: Check your permalink settings in WordPress to ensure they are correctly configured.
    2. Update Permalinks: If the extra date in the URLs is causing issues, consider updating your permalink structure to remove the unnecessary date part.
    3. 301 Redirects: For URLs like https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/index-status-excluded-by-noindex.jpg and https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/index-status-excluded-by-noindex.jpg that are generating 404 errors, set up 301 redirects to relevant pages or your homepage.

    If you need further assistance or if the issue persists, please provide more details or screenshots for us to better assist you.

    Looking forward to helping you resolve these 404 errors efficiently.

    Best regards.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Feed URLs are only the basic code versions of your actual content pages. You will not want these pages to be indexed as Google doesn’t like them and would most not likely not show them to users anyway.

    You can disallow bots from crawling the feed URLs from the robots.txt file at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt

    User-Agent: *
Disallow: */feed*

    Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site to reflect the changes.

    Regarding the other URLs, they are the date archives and we can see they are properly getting redirected to your homepage.

    In this case, if you’re seeing the 404 error on Google Search Console for these URLs, please try to clear your website cache including any server-level cache, and revalidate the issue.

    In case, you want to remove this redirection, you can enable the Date Archives option from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Misc Pages.

    However, it looks like you’re currently using the Rank Math PRO plugin on your website, but the account you have used to open this ticket is the Rank Math free version.

    Please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com so we can locate your account and verify it.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
