Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Please keep in mind that we only report 404s. We have no knowledge of how or why they are created. Enable the advanced monitor at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor: https://rankmath.com/kb/monitor-404-errors/#advanced-404-monitor to learn more about them.
This will provide you with additional information such as the referrer and user-agent. You can use this information to track down the source or determine whether the mistakes are caused solely by bots.
You can alternatively resolve these issues by redirecting visitors to a relevant page on your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-404-errors/
Or, you can add them to the exclusion list at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor > Exclude Paths
I hope that helps.
Thank you.
Hi,
It is my old sitemap before I added rank math’s sitemaps which are all a success. Should I just remove the old sitemap then?
Thank you
Regards,
Mae
Hello,
Yes, please remove all the old sitemaps from your GSC account and from your site, and only use the sitemap generated by Rank Math.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thanks.
Hi,
Will do so, and thank you for the swift reply!
Regards,
Mae
